Want to stay connected with the children you love when you’re apart? Of course! So go portable, and let those super kids carry you around with one finger! From ConnectedApart’s ‘Ideas For All Ages‘ section:
Take some time to play porta (as in ‘portable’)-(insert the name of your relationship), e.g. porta-daddy, porta-mamma, porta-grandad, etc.
Simply agree (with the children you love and their caregiver/s) on a time to chat and make a video call to their internet enabled device. Encourage the children you love to carry ‘you’ around, like super kids, to explore whatever it is that’s important to them on that particular day.
They might take you outside to smell the roses, into their room to play, to the couch to read a favorite book, or to their desk for help with their homework. Let them call the shots, let it be spontaneous, surrender to their creativity and immerse yourself in their world. It can be an incredibly empowering experience for them, where they feel ‘in charge’ of the relationship, and a fun experience for all (never before have they had a portable you!).
Get some more details on this from one of ConnectedApart’s earlier posts and visit ‘Commitment Three‘ (Availability and Fun) at ConnectedApart for more great ideas (and remember, they’re all free… so they just keep gettin’ greater!).
