Keeping in Touch With Kids Across the Miles
I’m traveling for two weeks several states away from my family doing work for clients, so this article about keeping in touch with kids across the miles resonated with me.
You can plan imaginary trips, grow a garden together (yet apart), go nature sleuthing, or read a book together. There are some good ideas to encourage fun activities you can discuss long-distance, and many of the activities support educational growth and development. Many of the activities can be done by mail or e-mail.
I’m having a productive trip and also visiting my parents, but I’m glad that I’ll be home on Saturday. My husband stayed home to run our business and has enjoyed spending some extra time with his kids while I’ve been gone.

This is a great article. My step-sons are away for the summer and I have encouraged them to send me post cards with odd sayings and interesting pictures. We also do email and the phone, but the dying art of the written letter or card is so much fun to receive and send. And it gives us a memory we can save.
