Virginia Satir, a respected family therapist, said “We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth.”  

Unfortunately due to covid-19 physical hugging is not recommended for the next few years,  until we all get vaccinated. However there are a good number of  activities that can  act as hug equivalents.  For example, saying I love you or giving flowers are two really good ways to give a   hug equivalent.
