How to Massage a Kiddo

Here, I demonstrate some ways to practice "Scwatchies, Wubbies & Squeezies" with my 8-yo bonus son Jaxon! Massaging our kids is a very special way to reinforce that connection and bond- WHILE teaching them great communication skills! The technique matters somewhat of course, but the biggest piece when you're massaging a child is getting clear on the boundaries. Verbal consent and respect MUST be at the heart of every touch. I didn't over-edit this one because I wanted to give you an authentic, unaltered idea of what communication with a kiddo in this context looks like! (Lots of playful banter, jokes, tickle battles, references to Black Panther...) I hope you watch this and learn some new things to try with your kids, and enjoy!! Happy Practicing!!
