This is such an important read.
Recently (a few weeks before S turned two) while traveling I realised that not only my child is giving her love away too easily she is also a bit of a bully. Having seen her hugs and kisses always well received and never refused she would choose to pounce on seeing any other kids and be seriously upset if they would (rightfully) be intimidated or run away.
It was almost like she treated these kids as little toys.
In this article Janet Lansbury explains how and why it is important to draw those boundaries.
