If this Axelsons Institute was in the United States, they'd have long been jailed for Pedophilia for their practices.

We have a different culture of touch in Scandinavia.

Yes, they sound similar but for me being Swedish speaking Norwegians are hard to understand. Strange but true :-D

[worldmassageforum]

They are all Swedes.

What a wonderful practice. They should teach that in the early childhood programs here in the States, the kids would fight a lot less and do better in school. And probably be healthier.

Thanks for posting this!

It's a bizarre cycle, isn't it? People don't touch one another, and people don't trust one another. For the rest of their lives, people think of touching each other as strange and they are uncomfortable with it. So they never let their children experience it, and it goes on and on.

All touching is illegal in my country.

These kinds of physical contact are perceived as pleasant by ALL mammals, and they respond to such stimuli as "socializing" influences. Humans and other primates are no exception to this observation, and small children actively tend to seek positive physical contact with peers and elders and even with younger children.

Nothing at all sexual about it, but definitely both calming and socializing.

@zion715 you should reread what you post, this is what you said come to them and touch there privates and tell them its massage and that is okay? what the heck?

[rbrtpongo]

have you ever done this with kids with autism and other disibilities?

[zion715]

Yeah but you also have to teach them about bad touch to cause someone could(especially someone they trust) come up to them and touch their privates and tell them its massage and that its ok. It nice to wanna teach them good touch but you gotta teach them bad touch too so they know the difference.

Beautiful/ the teachers teach, but the children do it/ that's the best part/ like some one has already said/ children are taught that touching is bad/ and because of that the only touching that a child remembers is the HURTING kind/

But yes/ it is a shame that it would not be aloud in USA schools/ And yes it is still The USA/ not just the US.

Watch the faces of the children/ see the wonder in their eyes/ their beautiful smiles/

Bless you for teaching the children to care.
