story all about touching
• Touching and hugging feels nice and lots
of people like to be hugged. Hugs and
touches always need to be soft and
gentle.
• Babies need a lot of help from adults.
We use our touch to help them do the
things they cannot do.

and kiss them.

• But if I am cuddling my special people, I
must be soft and gentle. Nobody likes
strong hugs – they hurt and they can be
dangerous.

might fall.
STOP IT!
• Soft touch and hugs show you are a very
loving and caring person and bring lots
of smiles.
