Heal Your Child With Touch

Anna's Massage Tips

Heal Your Child With Touch

How powerful is a parent’s touch? Very calming and comforting—it relieves anxiety and conveys the message of security to the child.


To begin a massage, choose a quiet, comfortable, warm spot and rub oil (baby oil or olive oil will do just fine) on your hands so they’ll glide smoothly over your child’s skin.

Basically, massage your child’s face, chest, back of arms, hands, lets and feet. If your child is ticklish, maybe go a little deeper or skip over that spot of the body. End your massage with a hug and a kiss, and tell your child how much you love and appreciate him or her. They will love you for it! Happy massaging!
