No, it's Sweet!: Sometimes in modern society we overthink issues to the point of denying children appropriate affection for fear of being viewed as inappropriate. It is the denial of spontaneous affection that leads to warped or even sociopathic behaviors. Give and take affection to and from your children at will! and include lots of physical contact. Don't replace love with propriety.
