Missing the Family Back
Try and keep routines the same,
boundaries need to be kept,
which gives security.
At the home front
& work site
use a mix
of the following ....
Photo albums with happy times can be invaluable.
Text messaging can be fun.
Video of Dad telling a story, great for bedtime!
Do some fun things together,
eg: baking biscuits, watching a movie, picnics etc.
Young children can draw pictures to give to Dad when back home.
A nice card and letter in the post
saying that you think of them could be a good idea.
(In both directions?)
So, on site, do you have their pictures
on the wall (including the dog)?
Just to remind you again,
is it time to use all the links
like the phone, SMS, email, fax and even the post
to tell your family, each one of them,
about how you feel ...
and plan a special family outing together
everytime you are home.
