[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 586959, member: 15799"] Sounds like a sensory input need and/or security/comfort issue. Teaching personal boundaries is going to be important for the rest of his life so starting now sounds like a good idea. Try to find a pattern to the hugging, when it's most intense. You might even try to talk to him about WHY he wants to hug all the time. Then you can find other things that can fill the same need. If it's a sensory need, a weighted blanket or a "log roll" for a time might help. If it's comfort/security, try to find a suitable substitution. You might want to also try to set limits on how many, how often, asking first, etc and reinforce/reward those somehow. difficult child 2 had boundary issues, I should say has, but they are getting better now that he's older. For him, it was a combination of sensory AND security. [/QUOTE]
