Every year, whether due to work, living, health, study or other circumstances, hundreds of millions of people around the world spend time apart from the children they love: sometimes for days; sometimes for weeks; sometimes for much longer.
Whatever the circumstances, being apart happens. And when it does, everyone finds themselves asking the same heart-wrenching question: “how can I maintain and strengthen healthy loving connections (or ‘stay connected’) with the children I love when I’m apart?”
On the basis of ConnectedApart’s unique APART Model, which brings together research and personal experience, ConnectedApart helps you to answer this question. Simply pick and choose some ideas from one or all of APART’s ‘five commitments‘ to suit your own unique experience of being apart and stay connected with the children you love in your own special way.
- Commitment One: Anchor
- Commitment Two: Prepare
- Commitment Three: Availability (and Fun!)
- Commitment Four: Reflect
- Commitment Five: Transition
