My daughter is extremely affectionate, loving, and cuddly but no matter what I try she won't hug me, kiss me, and no way would she tell me she loves me. Why is this? I have read that for some it's a sensitivity to touch, but I don't think that's the case with her. Sound sensitivity yes, but touch no. I have heard from others who say its like a voice in their head telling them the cant or shouldn't. I have also heard for some it's a practicality issue, and if it's something they don't see the need in, then they won't do it because it's silly and doesn't make sense. I have asked her why is it that she loves for her mommy to hug and kiss her, but she won't hug and kiss her mommy back, and her only answer is "I don't know". Even when she was little she was hard to carry because she wouldn't hug onto you, or clasp on to you like most kids when you carry them. I know I will never get hugs from my baby. Just still wonder why and what's going on in her head, and was hoping someone here had better insight.
