Upon finishing any one homework assignment, my oldest son (12) will call "VICTORY HUG!"

It's a short break from drudgery.

It celebrates a small accomplishment to build larger motivation.

It's positive physical contact (useful to build child self-esteem, and counter to toxic masculinity; both laudable).

It's positive social contact.

I completed four units of required online training (counting the employee self-evaluation as one unit), now I'm off to collect some victory hugs.

Smart kid!
