Who is The Back Hug?

The Back Hug is a special kind of friendship that makes people feel really safe and happy.

Imagine you're playing hide-and-seek with your best friend. When you find them, they give you the biggest, warmest hug, not just from the front, but from behind too! That’s like having two big pillows wrapped around you at once. It's the Back Hug. It means someone is watching out for you and wants to make sure you're okay.

Sometimes, when you’re feeling worried or scared, the person who gives you a Back Hug is right there with you, like your favorite blanket on a cold night. You don’t have to say anything because they already know how you're feeling.

Think of it like this: if you're at the park and you see something that makes you go "Oh no!", your friend might run up behind you, wrap their arms around you, and say, “I’ve got you!” That’s a Back Hug, strong, friendly, and full of love.
