We hear about asking kids permission to hug them or give them a kiss on the cheek
I haven’t seen my nephews aged 5,6,8 for 7 months and I am not going to say can I give you a hug
Would you like a high five or fist bump or handshake
Do you think the worlds gone mad ?

If you haven't seen them for so long you're virtually a stranger to them. You shouldn't push physical affection on a child just because YOU want a hug. The childs wants should matter too.

You can tell if someone, especially a child is open to a hug or not without asking. If they greet you in an excited manner, you know it’s safe to hug them. And they will be comfortable with it.
If they cling to their parents and act shy, a hug isn’t a good idea.
It’s important to teach kids about permission and boundaries. I’m not sure why you think it’s a negative.

This isn’t always a good indicator. My nephew is always happy to see me but not always happy to give me a hug. I know him and know he doesn’t always like hugs so I ask, he says yes and comes or says no and that’s it.

^ most kids are ok with it if they are comfortable with you. My son who is 9 like your nephew, not a huggy person. He is friendly but he gives off the vibe and he isn’t hugged. My 6yo daughter is affectionate and she will hug anyone she is comfortable with. Which is actually very few people.

Hug them. If they recoil you know not to do it again.
