“The first
”
sensory input in life comes from
the sense of touch while a baby is still in the womb,
and touch continues to be the primary means of
learning about the world throughout infancy and
well into childhood. Touch is critical for children’s
growth, development and health, as well as for
adults’ physical and mental well-being. Yet, the
American society is dangerously touch-deprived.”
