[QUOTE="SRL, post: 247739, member: 701"] Especially when they are little it's hard to sort out exactly the root of their problem. It could be that his mind is stuck in an inflexible mode where he thinks he's the only that can initiate. It could be that a hug is a sensory assault and he can handle it when he initiates because he knows it's coming but when someone else does it he's not prepared for the sensory shock. The end behavior--the meltdown--could be anxiety based on having bad experiences in the past due to the reasons I just mentioned. It's been years since I've been pregnant and would heave at the smell of a few foods, but my radar still registers when I meet up with those now and I'm a grown, rational adult. Think how much more loudly the alarm would be if you're young and were constantly met with what must seem like attacks. [/QUOTE]
