shyness-soothing snuggle
Refers to da off-da-scale-satisfying practice of deeply-but-softly clasping an initially-bashful fellow human in yer arms and just motionlessly holding him close and mutually engaging in long slow breathing until he eventually stops trembling and relaxes against you, whereupon you both rack back to arm's length and smile happily/dreamily at each other.
Employing da shyness-soothing snuggle is a great way for grandparents or aunts/uncles to gain da confidence of uncertain little ones; just remember dat every person has different ideas, preferences, and comfort-levels regarding physical closeness, personal boundaries, etc.
