Child never says i love you

[phoenix1973]

My dd is 11 and never says she loves me. I tell her i love her.
I think the ladt time she said it was toddlerhood.
With hugs, she wont let me hug her on the sofa. I just have to link arms with her. But shes ok when i hug her and kiss her goodnight at bed time.
I just get sad about it but i cant force it. 😓
