The cuddling Planet is a story created by Eduakme team to meet the emotional needs of the children.

It is a story app to be enjoyed by parents and kids together, encouraging them to relate and play together. Parents read the story and kids play the animations included.

Why is cuddling so important?

Cuddling is the main source of affection that our children need to receive when newly born and for ever after.
A boy or girl who is treated with love, with affection and with daily cudding, is a child who feels loved, strong, safe, trusting and happy. - important ingredients for creating good self-esteem.

Self-esteem in children

Child self-esteem is the esteem that children feel towards themselves, that is to say, the feelings that they have about themselves and how they value their own achievements and also their limitations. A child that loves himself or herself can change fears and insecurities into confidences and security.
For children to learn to love themselves just the way they are, they need parents that teach them with positive, loving messages full of cuddling, that make them feel loved in all their being, along with their virtues and weaknesses.
Filling our children with cuddles does not mean that we stop offering them behavioural guidance or limits, because giving rules is also a good way to love. And the combination of the two: love with cuddling and love with clean limits helps the small child to grow with a good internal guide.

Cuddling is not the same as spoiling

We do not have to limit the cuddling that we offer small children, nor limit the great variety of types of cuddling, as the story shows us. It is in no way counterproductive and will not turn the child into a spoilt, or a badly brought up child, or a willful one, if we also offer him or her behavioural guidance and clear rules. A cuddled child is a loved child, loved with cuddles and rules.

Kisses cure everything

As we say in Edúkame, kisses cure everything! Of course they don’t cure viruses, responsible for illnesses, nor do they heal the skin after a fall, but they do offer emotional wellbeing, because they comfort, calm and alleviate the pain or the fear that the child has felt. And if these kisses and cudding come from daddy and mummy, all the better. Then and to put it more exactly, kisses cure everything related to the emotional world.
