Wanna bet how little this is going to effect the kid? Sometimes I forget how extreme everyone on the internet thinks. Real, "delete Facebook, hit the gym, consult a lawyer" vibes in here.

It's basically impossible to predict how shit affects kids

But also this is still fucking weird and bad

You only think it won't affect her because people rarely realize how strongly certain childhood experiences relate to the way they are as adults.

You seem weirdly invested in forcing children to be physically affectionate with people even if they don't want to be. What's the big achievement in doing it by force rather than encouraging it to happen at the child's own pace and development?

I bet their parents made them do similar things as a kid. People who had a mostly good childhood and relationship with their parents can be very touchy when confronted with the idea that maybe their parents had some damaging parenting techniques. It's like being told you're damaged now. I can relate to this feeling myself. But in these cases you put on your grownup pants and don't insist that because you came out mostly fine, that was ideal parenting and should be defended and encouraged.

You may be right. I'm also puzzled by the suggestion that just because it might not do serious damage, it's a good idea. Um... no? Teaching kids that they don't have to let other people touch their bodies if that touch is unwanted is a very good idea. People should grow up believing that they don't need to endure physical contact with someone just because other people think they ought to do it.

And on the flip side, what exactly is the big benefit that makes forcing kids to hug and kiss people they don't want to hug and kiss? I have a hard time believing that this approach is going to yield a good sibling bond in OP's specific case. The whole "you don't know kids" is also baffling. Because kids are notorious for enthusiastically loving stuff that they've been forced to do by authority figures, right? And forced affection is a great way to develop real affection, of course!
