Don't Hug Doug

Don't Hug Doug (He Doesn't Like It)
By Carrie Finison

Not everyone needs to be the same as you! You may love a big, squashy hug, but Doug sure doesn't. For him, hugs are either too squeezy, too squashy, too squooshy, or too smooshy, but the reason doesn't matter at all -- hugs are a no for Doug (unless they're mom's goodnight hugs). How are you suppose to know? Just ASK before you hug.

Don't Hug Doug encourages kids to take an empathetic approach to others who do not enjoy hugging. A great resource for teachers, as well as a great example of  differences in people that need to be respected. After all, many can relate to Doug!
