Well if you're familiar with Dr. Gary Chapman and the five love languages one of

those is physical touch and many children don't get enough of it. We're going to be

physical touch for your child on today's episode. I'm John Fuller along with

super duper daddy hugs and it was just that tight physical touch but it's again
