So you'd think old enough.

that uh they don't need

Um that parental hug.

Well, there isn't such an age.

Um and the reason they need the hug is and constant hugs and constant soothing, soft eyes, all of these things, even a soft voice triggers oxytocin in.

Receptors that line the middle ear.

So that's a that's a sort of long answer to what you thought was an easy question, but it's actually a tough one.

That's great.

I don't know what that is.

Uh that's an absolutely great point.

So um if you've got a touch aversive kid, uh so first of all, uh I'll just take my own older child.

Uh so he was very, very um uh touch aversive.

but not to all kinds of touches.

So uh you want to experiment um to see if there's a kind of touch that the child

who is touch sensitive likes.

So in my older boy who's on the spectrum, what he liked was scratching.

Um and he also liked, you know, the the head thing, it's like a uh a a whisk.

Um he loved that.

And and basically what that's doing, the reason why it has that instantly calming effect.

is because uh is because uh of the release of oxytocin.
