When one of the littles in my family doesn’t want a hug, I ask if they’ll do a fist bump/high five instead, and if that’s a no then we settle on a wave. It’s really not hard to respect people’s boundaries, especially kids who should know they have bodily autonomy. Some people don’t like physical touch and that’s okay.

I think it's good you still do some kind of greeting, kids still need to learn to be kind/polite to others and greetings are part of that

Absolutely! Courtesy and consent are two things that can coexist beautifully, and they should.
