The lack of reassuring contact like a hug can be so beneficial to a child's development as well as self esteem. Which is why when babies are born, they need to be held to feel warmth sbd acceptance in order to grow.

Words play a significant role as well. How words are used. Having been bullied for several years when a kid, words can be killers in so many ways.
