This thread is full of people who really don't understand the point:

It's not telling you grandparent hugs are bad. It's telling you that ignoring other people's boundaries REGARDING THEIR OWN PHYSICAL BODY is bad.

This is especially important with kids, because it's important to teach kids that they're allowed to exercise bodily autonomy. If kids aren't taught that, it becomes far easier for someone to take advantage of them being trained to allow touching they don't want because they feel like they have to.

Dear god how much I had to scroll to get here. The amount of comments written by people who feel personally attacked for ignoring boundaries is PALPABLE.

If you have children, and you don't use this as a teaching moment for a child, then you are failing. Plain and simple.
