Story by Khattiyada Chaiyo, Ed.D. Translated by Suthasinee Chuawongkorkerd Illustrated by Chananya Kijcharoenchai
“Let’s stay close together, shall we?”
We are scared when we walk separately.
So, we walk arm in arm to be safe and calm.
“Let’s give him a hug, shall we?”
When I am feeling down, my friends put their arms around my shoulders, and their words make me feel better.
“Mummy, Mummy, hug me, please.”
When I do something bad,
I hug Mum’s leg and beg her not to be mad.
I also say, “I’m sorry for what
I did.”
“Give me a big hug.”
I am so glad when Daddy comes back. He greets me with a bear hug to show how much he has missed me.
We all hug each other in both good and bad times.
A warm hug can make us feel stronger when we are getting through a hard time.
BUT if someone hugs you and touches your private parts or make you feel being harassed, STOP them from doing so.
No one can hug you if you say
“NO!”
Do not let anyone make you feel sorry as they have no right to put their arms around your body.
Your body is your very own.
Do not let anyone, either known or unknown, touch your body parts you are not comfortable with. Tell them head on, “Stop this!”
Tender and warm hugs from their mother are the first friendly touch that makes children feel loved. A loving, safe and appropriate touch allows children to differentiate between a friendly touch and an uncomfortable touch from people around them.

In good and bad times, a tender hug warms children’ hearts. It also helps them explore their feelings and willingness.
