Couldn't agree with you more Mini! I help 5 kids right now in elementary school catch up on their school work. One boy has stolen my heart! He really needed a little extra. I started giving him a big hug after each of our sessions and I think this is helping him more with his school work than actually working with him on his school work! I think this hug must mean to him that he is worthy of love and valuable (my guess with his response, actions, and progress). He has made so much progress both academically and personally/socially. This human connection means so much!

I like your story about the dogs.......
