How many times have you told your child to always obey the grownups? Have you insisted that they hug or kiss Uncle Johnny or that family friend or relative who visits every holiday, even though your child obviously feels uncomfortable doing so? Of course, every parent wants to make sure they arent raising rude, obnoxious kids. But, it can be a dangerous message we give our children when we insist that they deny their instincts and force them to be polite so that we, the parent, can save face. It can be especially risky to insist that they express physical affection when they are clearly uncomfortable doing so.
