No Ma? The american families I know certaining hug and kiss far
more often than Asian families generally, especially of the
previous generation
As for whether it is better or not, I think it is just Different. I
find that some of these actions are just 'show-show' only also,
when it happens between adults. But for children where the sense of
touch is very important, ya.. I think a certain degree of physical
closeness is impt between child and parents
