J is into the bear hugging as well. Only he does it to complete strangers and aquaintences to whom he is apologizing (usually for a playground infraction). So all of his apologies come with a hug no matter who you are or how long we've know you. It sort of freaks some people out, and others think it is cute. But its better than Little J who doesn't want to apologize at all. P.S. there are resources out there for helping kids understand kids who are different from them. (coloring books, hand outs, posters, etc.) AMEN! J is into the bear hugging as well.
