Day 275
Prompt 275
"Hold"
The word 'hold' can again be a verb( grasp,contain,possess,keep,observe, restrain,think/believe,not give away,be valid,restrain oneself-stop or wait) or a noun (the grasp - manner of holding, cavity in a ship)
I think we usually think of the word as a doing word, to hold onto whether it is a person or goods.
I like to hold on to possessions. In other words I am a horder and hate to throw things out. You should see our loft and garage!!
I think young children like to hold hands and I hate to see toddlers running away and refusing to hold an adults hand, but then again to hold a child's hand to restrain is incorrect and fragile bones can break. Then you hold their wrist - if you do need to restrain :( This I hated to do and there are other options before confrontation and restraint. This I learnt whilst in my job doing a restraining course.
