Why is it that When a toddler, or older child like 7 years old gives an adult a hug, the grown-up always squats? Even when standing your child can easily hug you, so you can easily return their hug. What does squatting have to do with any aspect of a hug? For the parents that have kids in this age range, when they give you a hug, Why do ya'll squat with a toddler? Why do ya'll squat with an 8 year old?

Does it matter?

You are getting down to the kid's level which is good for them.

 

Is the kid expected to hug your ankles or knees instead ?

Well spotted  newmod....

gawd elp us next you'll be asking why a 5 year old can't beat hulk hogan at arm wrestling.

I don't know if this guy is on a wind up or completely radio.

Would you not come down to the same level as a person in a wheelchair when greeting them. It's the same thing "good manners and respect

If you want anyone to believe that you are for real, please note that no-one in the UK says "ya'll"

Squatters rights. End of. 😂

calm, as awheelchair user i have never been crouched down to for a greeting.  I dont consider it bad manners

Bednobs I think you misunderstood. I was saying that one should crouch done when greeting a person in a wheelchair

no misunderstanding calm (i think!)  im just sayng no-one has ever crouched down to greet me when ive been in the chair, and i dont consider it rude that they don't

Yes, if it's an adult in a wheelchair I wouldn't think of squatting just to talk to them- to do so would seem a little patronising; although to hug them I would squat or at least lean over as I would have to. I would sometimes squat down to a small child (like Sarah's, 17 inch tall six year old, ha ha), but there would come a point when I'd stop- say when they get to be 12 years old, in which case I'd just lean over a bit to hug them. 

Is this the one with the dwarf child again ?

Either the same or part of the tag team.

this guy is on a wind up or completely radio.

yeah I agree  I think it is fing-foo wibbly wobbly woo

this a AI chat bot innit? not very AI

Good Monty Python sketch of an interviewer NOT  crouching and the child saying " I want to go home now" as John Cleese leers into the camera - OK it was 1970: I have a long memory. Probably a take off of "Seven-up"

I should patent 'hugging steps'. - like the steps they used for leddies mounting horses in olden times

Yeah yeah - and that big fella in the James Bond film - his hugging steps cd be called " The 39 steps"

( codeine again I am afrain)
