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.

People understand consent with my big old dog. Does she want a hug? Yes, she does. Do they check, double check, and work there way up to a hug based on body language? Of course.

Solution: kids need bigger teeth.

Or the intelligence of dogs! That way they’d be treated more like dogs.
