An excerpt from today's NPR email:

"Parenting advice often focuses on what to say rather than what to do when kids are upset or grumpy. But a special caress can help trigger a warm, calm feeling when words fail. It’s called yakson in Korea, malish in Delhi and piojito in Latin America. Here's what decades of research say about this phenomenon:

Use a very light touch, and don't go too fast or too slow. You're basically giving kids the goosebumps.

This touch turns on nerves in hairy parts of the skin called C-tactile fibers. They stimulate the brain's reward centers.

Children who get touch and support from parents are more likely to be independent and daring when they grow up."
