Little Kids Hugging Views
That's the new rule at my kids' camp this summer: If a counselor feels like hugging a camper, the counselor must bend down to the child's level, so the child's face does not end up buried in his or her groin. I don't think this is that big a deal. Sure, it's silly to make it an official rule... but I always bend down when hugging little kids, for just that reason - I don't like their noses crammed into my crotch! There are very few people I might ever want that close to me, and none of them are children. (For that matter, it was a matter of a small celebration when my older niece was old enough to hug me and have her nose hit my belly button instead. Wow, she grew some!)No, there's nothing sexual about it, and I think everybody knows it, but it *is* an awkward way of hugging, and it lacks a certain... propriety. Plus, if you bend down, you can hug them back instead of patting them around their shoulders.
