The Power of Touch: Filling Your Child's Emotional Tank | Episode 429
from Parenting Matters Now with Dr. Roger Smith · host Dr. Roger Smith
Did you know the way you touch your child profoundly affects their emotional health? Dr. Roger Smith explains that touch is one of the most powerful ways to fill a child's emotional tank, but warns that touch used only for anger or discipline can become powerfully negative. He shares a study that ranks different types of touch, revealing that a gentle hand on the head or face is often perceived as the most genuine sign of care and concern. Learn how to use deliberate, positive touch—from holding hands to a comforting head scratch—to continually express your sincere love for your children at every age.
