As one of her Playschool babies, it was an honour to contribute to the @BBCr4today programme guest edited by @FloellaBenjamin to talk about the power of hugs, our research on the social #touch & its impact on recommendations of the APPR on a Fit & Healthy Childhood @LJMUImpact
Guest editing BBC Today programme was a wonderful experience. I got the chance to expand on my mantra #Childhoodlastsalifetime’. I explore how so much influences children, especially the media. Do listen to the programme tomorrow if you get a chance @BBCr4today

Hello #affectivetouch community! Planning a study on affective touch, using skin-to-skin touch between mothers and their 6-month-old infants. Does anyone have experience with specific methods for training and measuring touch pressure? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

How do you know if something is wet/dry? Humans have no dedicated sensor for humidity. Instead, we rely -mainly- on thermal cues.
Do the test: sit on a cold bench, your first reaction is: The bench is Wet!
