The hugs I get and give on a day basis are more than a perk of the job! Of course it’s wonderful but it’s so much more. Helping children to feel secure attachment means that they will be ready to learn and grow. I love it when a child in my care starts to learn about their feelings and is confident about their needs and can tell me when they are tired or hungry or need a hug. It’s such a privilege to be able to show that professional love for my little gangs; teaching and nurturing them to care for each other, build resilience and supporting them on that journey of emotional discovery.
