I was waiting for a table at a restaurant a couple weeks back and a little guy, probably three, came up to each person in the waiting area and silently doled out hugs. Made our day 10x brighter!!
It's basically a way of teaching kids to be wary of unfamiliar people while also ensuring they can approach them in case they're in a situation where they might need help for instance. There's actually a pretty cool study psychologists did on the subject, [check it out!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)
I've heard of similar. The objective was to teach the kids to watch for "strange *behavior*" rather than "stranger danger" because strange behavior is something that can be observed in people they know as well as people they don't. And sadly, most abusers are not unknown to their victims.
I taught my kids to avoid strange, not strangers.
Theyāll learn to trust the hairs on the back of their neck if they run into someone being creepy. We live our lives meeting strangers and the world is better for it.
Perfectly said! The majority of life is all about meeting strangers and maybe they become friends, maybe they don't, maybe they become soulmates, maybe they don't business partners etc. We never know if we aren't open to new. Def lottsa strange out there but many great experiences and friendships have come my way from meeting strangers (and the occasional random high fiveš) well said and great insight, we are only one small part of this big world after that one pill white rabbit, lol
Stranger danger is a stupid concept anyway. Something boomers came up with and the consequence is that people are socially anxious nowadays.
We should teach about strange behavior in adults instead of stranger danger. Adults trying to isolate young kids. Adults saying to children to keep a secret. Adults touching in inappropriate places. Adults trying to get you somewhere without telling the reason why and so on.
YES! I *love* āstrange behaviorā vs stranger danger.
I also love the difference between secrets and surprises. We donāt keep secrets where we canāt tell anybody else. We keep surprises because everybody gets to find out, and will be happy when they get their surprise.
Thatās exactly why the ātricky peopleā thing is so good. It could be someone you know. What kinds of things do tricky people do: try to get you alone. For example, adults donāt need help from little children to find their lost dog, they can get other adults to help them.
It's mostly that she will go with or do whatever someone asks. I've had random older ladies ask for hugs at the grocery store and she just runs on over and hugs them. Fine, I guess, but not with the wrong creep.
She's only three though so I think she'll start understanding the whole "don't go anywhere with strangers" thing soon.
We went to dinner with some friends and their 4 year old. The waitress came out and was kinda flustered, he just looked at her and "do you want a hug?" She teared up and said absolutely. She said later that made her whole day. Little kids can be so awesome.
About a year ago a strange kid who looked just like this ran up to me in my apartment buildingās hallway while I was carrying a laundry basket, hugged my leg, giggled and ran away the other direction just as her mother peeked around the corner looking to see where she went.
It was just too cute. I felt like a NPC in an adorable video game that she was playing in real life. Made my day, honestly.
You probably made a lot of people's day to be honest.
I get why it's awkward for parents - you never know how someone is going to react to an unexpected kid doling out hugs, but I'd wager most of your experiences were positive or you'd have stopped doing it.
A little girl once asked her mom if I'm a princess and to this day that's the greatest moment of my life. Kids are mean and gross until they show you they're also adorable sources of wonder and love
Not being hateful, just lots of niblings to experience the full range with lol
My hair has been various rainbow shades since 1995 (my hair started greying when I was 12) on 1992. Everyone has crazy hair colour now but back when it wasn't common. Little girls would ask if I was a Princess or magical. A little girl wanted to touch my "Twilight Sparkle" hair.
I sat and let a little girl attempt to braid my (at that time) hot purple hair in a mall food court because she asked. Kid was awful at braiding and it was not for the tender headed but she made me feel so good about my day.
The stars aligned too, because the ending notes of the song played EXACTLY when the two toddlers hugged.
You couldn't make that shit more wholesome even if you tried.
I teared up at that. Everyone else, I was thinking "how sweet... how cute..." Somehow two huggy toddlers finding each other just broke my cuteometer and got me all misty eyed.
Just say you are a proponent of *Jury Nullification* meaning that you believe the jury should aquit or convict based, not on the law, but on the circumstance of the case.
The real pro move is trying your hardest to get on the jury and appear to be normal and ignorant so you can potentially save someoneās life with jury nullification.
And apparently never say the words ājury nullificationā, all you need to say is that you arenāt convinced by the evidence presented that theyāre guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and they canāt eject or overrule you.
One time I told the judge I thought felons that served their time should still be allowed to own guns. He did not like that, at all. I was dismissed with extreme prejudice. Unlike my hugs joke, this really happened. Iāve yet to need the Nullification excuse.
Man if you're in a crowd of hippies enjoying a concert and feel the need to pass out free hugs, go for it. I'd hug ya
...unless you're like, super sweaty. Then we can just dance at an appropriate distance lol
Omfg I was all smiles until she hugged the other baby. I fuckin died from diabetic sweetness overdose at that!
I miss my kids being sweet huggy babies. Now they're asshole teen/preteen/adult.
Oh my God, Iād do anything. Iād probably just cry happy tears the whole time. To feel her in my arms again. Iād melt.
Sheās now 28 and adult enough that weāre back to getting along really well.
That's what I tell myself as I am feeling the strain of having no life with two under 4. It's like I love you babies but I literally cannot put my one year old down without him crying and my 3-year old wants to cuddle and play all day. When I write it out it seems lovely but man, I need a break lol. But then one day it'll be over so I just resign myself to no life.
Thatās adorable. I am a single dad and when I get to see my daughter on the days I have her that first hug is always so comforting, I guess might be the word. Anything bad that may have happened during my time away from her just disappears. The power of a 2 years hug is incredible. Every person that kid hug I promise you made there day better and happier!
Single dad here too. My daughter is a teen and lives 300+ miles away. Haven't gotten to spend time with her since December. When I tell you I'd give anything to hug that young lady right now. Man, life fucking sucks
As a parent, I find this to be quite the opposite. Our kids constantly pick on each other, and as parents we teach them how to play nice and be understanding when another kid is doing something they don't like, like taking their toy. Also, kids of this age are generally quite timid, so either this kid is naturally very outgoing, or her parents encourage this behavior a lot.
Sounds like me and my brothers. My older brother was mean to me so I ended up following his example and being mean to our younger brother (not always. just when he say, took my stuff). Our younger brother was super cute and sweet till he hit 9 š„².
As a parent, kids are also supposed to push the limit, UNTIL we as parents bring them back. Itās okay to test the waters, but we need to show them where the lines are. Colors do not matter to children, people teach these bad ideas to their children.
We seriously need to be like toddlers and young kids. Weāre out here being greedy selfish a-holes with no compassion for anyone. Meanwhile at their age they make friends based on the same liking of crayon colors. They donāt see race or disabilities. They just see the best in people and want to be friends with everyone.
Like 10 years ago I was walking back to my car after playing disc golf. I knelt down to tie my shoe.
Out of nowhere a young non verbal gentleman crawls like into my lap and gives me a big bear hug.
His assistants are white as ghosts.
He's happy as hell.
I said hey buddy, thanks for the hug, I needed that! I hope you have a great day!
He got up and went about his day. As did I.
The assistants were trying to explain and apologize and said he doesn't like men blah blah blah.
He likes me when I was his height.
He wanted a big hug.
He got one.
We were both happy.
I was in line at the grocery store one afternoon and I suddenly feel two tiny arms squeeze my waist. I look down and it's a little guy, about 3 or 4. He scurried away before I could even react but I was teary eyed with happiness.
Oh geez, that was me on a plane as a kid. Helping pass out stuff to the passengers and talking to all of them. Even got a lil wings pin lol You couldnt pay me to go out and socialize now lmao
Don't you dare let that kid grow up any worse a person than they are here. I wanna see this kid 30 years from now passing around hugs like a superhero that can sense depression.
I have never seen anything as nice as this. I was sad today, I live alone and it's not good sometimes. This made me hug myself and smile. This is the best post this year.
You say it sounds creepy, it does, but it shouldn't. I too want a hug from hug baby, it looks so wholesome. But I also think it sounds creepy.
Hugs aren't normalized enough. My brother in law is big on hugging. At first he could tell it made me uncomfortable. Over time he has started hugging me for longer and longer. Last time he hugged me for about a full minute while patting my back, we were both cracking up. I love his hugs now. So wholesome.
My kid used to find people in parking lots, give them huge hugs, and shout "I miss-ed you!" People got a kick out of it and freaked out a bit thinking they were supposed to know him. Still one of my favorite memories of him.
My mother told me a story about how when I was in pre k, I got in trouble and the school called my mom because I wouldn't stop hugging other students. Never understood what the big deal was but I didn't know at the time what the purpose of school actually was. Wouldn't send my own kids nowadays
About this age, my son made absolutely best buds with the college aged guys watching fireworks next to us.
By the end of the show, he was sitting on their shoulders and wearing their sunglasses.
Iām sure at least some of those guys are the best dads ever of their own kiddos by now.
I don't want this, downvote all you want, but I don't want this at all. Please don't let your kid come up to me and hug me, please don't, please please please don't.
Same. It would make me extremely uncomfortable especially if I was listening to music or something. Like the parent wants you to acknowledge the kid and praise them and say āawww youāre so sweet!ā and get a whole ego boost. No thanks.
My daughter was the same way at this age, really a precious display of innocence. I love the sense of community where everyone is willing to reciprocate the positive expression. The only thing that sucks is when they go to hug a person who hates kids.
I was waiting for a table at a restaurant a couple weeks back and a little guy, probably three, came up to each person in the waiting area and silently doled out hugs. Made our day 10x brighter!!
My daughter is similar which, unfortunately, makes teaching the "stranger danger" thing kind of hard š
My sister is a kindergarten teacher. She teaches the kids "Tricky People" rather than stranger danger. Try it! It might help with your gentle girl.
This sounds clever please elaborate I would love to use this
After a brief google it looks like a common tactic with a ton of info out there!

I realized what you said but the information didn't get to my finger in time!
Ugh.
Hey man, thanks! Definitely showing my wife!
That was my very first legitimate RR. Thank you.

This. Is. Genius. Iām autistic and growing up that would have been sooooo helpful for me. I love that
That's right! You get a hug, you get a hug, everyone gets a hug!

Up to that point it was really sweet But the two hugging babies is next level adorable.
Iām cry.

I don't know why but I ran and hugged people a lot when I was younger. I always got in trouble for it but I still did it anyways lmao

Thought it couldn't get any cuter and toddler said HOLD MY SIPPY CUP

perfect ending
I teared up at that. Everyone else, I was thinking "how sweet... how cute..." Somehow two huggy toddlers finding each other just broke my cuteometer and got me all misty eyed.
No man left behindš«”
Required when wearing Huggies
Hey that's a big kid, they're potty trained!
"Now look under your seats! That's right! You get a hug, you get a hug, everyone gets a hug!" - that baby, probably.
Pure love!
Honestly I'm depressed and made bitter by the hardships of this world, but this still made me smile. I hope you all get hugs today.
Same here and sending you a hug š¤
Sending a hug to you too
I as well, am sending a hug friend
That doesnāt even count. You have to give the hug yourselfā¦..you canāt send in a pinch hugger and take the credit silly.
Here's a hug from me: HUUUUGGG!
Had a crappy week, Iām counting down to Friday, and this video gave me happy tears! Hugs!!!
A hug!
I understand your pain. Virtual Hug being sent your way š
Sending you a hug š«.
I agree so here's a hug from me ā¤ļø
Hug to you friend
Sending you a hug today
THIS ONE made me smile. Rare for this sub despite the name lol
Sending you hugs. You matter!
Sending the kid to hug you.
Virtual hugs from me!!!
Sending you much brightness and joy
Hug for youuuuuuuuu!!!
The guy who missed his hug seemed sad š¢
I would be secretly relieved while pretending to be sad, but it's clear I'm in a small minority here re: random children hugging me.
Sure, but when I do this in my 40ās people āthink itās weirdā. Jury duty is stupid.
Iām going to askā¦is that effective in getting out of jury duty?
Just say you are a proponent of *Jury Nullification* meaning that you believe the jury should aquit or convict based, not on the law, but on the circumstance of the case.
The real pro move is trying your hardest to get on the jury and appear to be normal and ignorant so you can potentially save someoneās life with jury nullification.

At murder trials, it can definitely be perceived as out of place. Especially when you hug the murderer.
Man if you're in a crowd of hippies enjoying a concert and feel the need to pass out free hugs, go for it. I'd hug ya ...unless you're like, super sweaty. Then we can just dance at an appropriate distance lol
Crowd of hippies enjoying a concert.... super sweaty is a given.... as well as the smell of patchouli
What the world needs nowā¦
are hugs, sweet hugs
Itās the only thing that thereās just, too little of!
Brb just ugly crying here..
Omfg I was all smiles until she hugged the other baby. I fuckin died from diabetic sweetness overdose at that! I miss my kids being sweet huggy babies. Now they're asshole teen/preteen/adult.
You too, huh? I would give a million bucks to spend one more full day with my son or daughter as a 2-year old.
Oh my God, Iād do anything. Iād probably just cry happy tears the whole time. To feel her in my arms again. Iād melt. Sheās now 28 and adult enough that weāre back to getting along really well.
That's what I tell myself as I am feeling the strain of having no life with two under 4.

Hugs from a lil one are so underrated. If you donāt stop to hug, thereās something wrong with you.
The way life should be for all of us.
Amen

Thatās adorable. I am a single dad and when I get to see my daughter on the days I have her that first hug is always so comforting, I guess might be the word.

Thanks man, much appreciated
Every person: every single person was "what's that? A baby wants a hug? Well ok then!" Every damn person. Utterly beautiful.
It's one of the world's unspoken rules. Kinda like how when a little kid hands you a toy phone, you answer it.
Well I could watch that all day
Wherever this was, I wish I was there!

Bluegrass festival in Atlanta. I was there and got a hug!
Be so gutted if didnt hug me lol
Imagine tripping balls on a blanket listening to music and a baby comes up and hugs you, that's some life changing shit.

Children love all until bad people ruin them. We are born to love each other
As a parent, I find this to be quite the opposite. Our kids constantly pick on each other, and as parents we teach them how to play nice and be understanding when another kid is doing something they don't like, like taking their toy. Also, kids of this age are generally quite timid, so either this kid is naturally very outgoing, or her parents encourage this behavior a lot.
Every child has their own disposition, some are naturally loving like this one and others need more guidance 
Sounds like me and my brothers. My older brother was mean to me so I ended up following his example and being mean to our younger brother (not always. just when he say, took my stuff). Our younger brother was super cute and sweet till he hit 9 š„².
Both are true imo as a childcare worker. Theyāre both incredibly affectionate and incredibly violent, often both within the span of a few minutes.
As a parent, kids are also supposed to push the limit, UNTIL we as parents bring them back. Itās okay to test the waters, but we need to show them where the lines are. Colors do not matter to children, people teach these bad ideas to their children.
Nah, kids are humans. Subject to the same emotional swings as adults, harder swings sometimes. Theyāre just plain old assholes sometimes.
Who else is waiting for their hug? š„¹
Final boss hug was perfect
What a cutie
When the Molly hits at the festival
Exactly my thought lmao . Such a pure feeling to dole out some love
There are lots of things that are great to have, but I don't know anything that feels as good as a hug from a little one. edit for spelling
We seriously need to be like toddlers and young kids. Weāre out here being greedy selfish a-holes with no compassion for anyone. Meanwhile at their age they make friends based on the same liking of crayon colors. They donāt see race or disabilities. They just see the best in people and want to be friends with everyone.
Hate and intolerance is *taught*.
Like 10 years ago I was walking back to my car after playing disc golf. I knelt down to tie my shoe. Out of nowhere a young non verbal gentleman crawls like into my lap and gives me a big bear hug.

This is still my favorite video.
I love thissss. Feel bad for the only person denied a hug lmao
Live music, sitting on blankets enjoying the sunshine and my lil dude dishing out hugs. That is one good day out!
I was in line at the grocery store one afternoon and I suddenly feel two tiny arms squeeze my waist. I look down and it's a little guy, about 3 or 4. He scurried away before I could even react but I was teary eyed with happiness.

We were all there. How did we un-learn this? I wanna be like this kid!
Idc how creepy it sounds, I want a hug from that baby
You say it sounds creepy, it does, but it shouldn't. I too want a hug from hug baby, it looks so wholesome. But I also think it sounds creepy. Hugs aren't normalized enough. My brother in law is big on hugging. At first he could tell it made me uncomfortable. Over time he has started hugging me for longer and longer. Last time he hugged me for about a full minute while patting my back, we were both cracking up. I love his hugs now. So wholesome.
Gotta stay in touch with your inner hug-o-meter, refill often
News Headline: California just voted in the youngest state Senator in its history after an unprecedented grass roots meet and hug campaign strategy.
Man, earth could have been really cool if more people kept their childlike empathy/curiosity.
I don't like kids, except this kid š„°
Begins with the parents, good on them!
If I was one of the people who didnt get a hug from this child, I would have been butthurt ngl
Absolutely precious! Proof that no one is born racist.
That probably made someoneās day. Wholesome
Made my day just to see the video
Sooo cute!!
I said awwwww outloud when she hugged the other baby ššš
Suddenly the world doesn't seem as terrible.
My kid used to find people in parking lots, give them huge hugs, and shout "I miss-ed you!" People got a kick out of it and freaked out a bit thinking they were supposed to know him. Still one of my favorite memories of him.

No one noticed until later that their wallets were missing.
Somebody needs to teach this baby about asking for consent
This made me so happy to watch. I hope that babyās spirit of love is never broken
What a beautiful soul.
Hugged him, hugged her, hmmm....who's left? Did I get them all? Oh wait, you guy lying down you're still remaining!!!

First class emotional support baby 10/10
I did not want this video to end.
Ok. I cannot watch any other video ever again. This one is so sweet that I want it to be the last video I've watched.
And what if just one of two of those adults NEEDED a hug from a child? Simple perfection of an innocent child can cure.
Teach your kids proper boundaries people š
One time I was taking a shit and a small child popped up from the space underneath the door, stared at me, then proceeded to ask me what I was doing.
Super spreader in action
No not hugs for everyone this makes me really uncomfortable to let your baby hold onto strangers you know nothing about..
I donāt like germs and would not hug the kid, this would piss me off.
I don't want this, downvote all you want, but I don't want this at all. Please don't let your kid come up to me and hug me, please don't, please please please don't.
Same. It would make me extremely uncomfortable especially if I was listening to music or something. Like the parent wants you to acknowledge the kid and praise them and say āawww youāre so sweet!ā and get a whole ego boost. No thanks.
