Tips for Long Distance Parenting

It’s never easy to be away from your kids, whether it’s a short business trip or a move across the country. Here are a few tips to help you keep the connections strong.

1) Every few days plan to read or tell your child a favorite or familiar story over the phone (or by webcam) before bed, like Goodnight, Moon or your own favorite story from childhood. The story can be short, less than 15 minutes long. If you each have your own copy of the story, you can turn the pages together even though you aren’t in the same room. This is particularly good for a smaller child as it’s interactive.
