  Pretty simple, no means no and stop means stop when teaching children boundaries. But this is also included for them. Even if you are playing, tickling, hugging, kissing... if they say stop YOU SHOULD STOP! If they say no, THAT MEANS NO! They deserve boundaries too. Forcibly making your children hug or kiss people doesn't give them any sense of security. It's important they learn to do whats comfortable for them.
