Budget your Time
What will you need to do to budget for your time together?
Consider the safety of travel arrangements when your children travel to see you:
- Can someone travel with them?
- Who will meet them?
- Talk to the travel service about how to help your child prepare for the trip.
When the kids Arrive
- Let them settle in. Give them space of their own.
- Give them time to get to know the area.
- Be prepared for changes to your routine. Keep communication fluid.
- Be prepared for physical changes in your child, as well as new behavior, likes, and dislikes.
Have a collection of newspaper cuttings, poems, thoughts, and small things in a box or book that you can look through together. Record the dates you collected each thing so your child will know that you often think about them.
Kids’ best Interest in Mind
Most importantly, have your children’s best interests at the top of your mind at all times. This can often be a stressful and frightening time for all parties.
