Never be afraid to hug your daughter

I’m reading The Great Discontent interview with Merlin Mann (an inspiration) and just read this bit that I love:

When my wife and I found out that we were having a girl—and I hope this doesn’t sound sexist or anything—the women I talked to all said the same thing: “Never be afraid to hug your daughter.” They told me to hug her so much more than I think I should. It might seem weird, but no little girl says, “My dad hugged me too much.”
