When we used to be foster parents, if we had contact with a child’s biological parents, we would explain about the Kissing Hand book and ask that they kiss the child’s palm when they visited them and that way, we were able to remind that child that their mom or dad’s love stayed with them even at our house. In the book, a little raccoon is nervous about being away from his mom on his first day of school and she kisses the palm of his hand and tells him that if he is feeling scared or lonely, he can press his palm to his cheek and feel her love with him. The Kissing Hand is a book that we used to use with some of our foster kids in conjunction with their biological parents as a way to teach them that they could carry the love of their parents with them even when they weren’t with them. The Kissing Hand Activities The Kissing Hand Recently, we were preparing some of the kids to go to sleep away camp for the first time so I pulled the The Kissing Hand book out again and used it as a starting point for discussion about their feelings about going away and to reassure them that our love would stay with them while they were away. The Kissing Hand book by Audrey Penn has been a book that we have read a fair bit over the years especially in preparing the kids to be away from us for a period of time such as getting them ready for their first sleepover at their grandparent’s house.
