Shorten the Distance is a compilation of creative suggestions so parents can participate in anything like birthdays, sports, and even senior prom from anywhere in the world. "Reliable and common sense advice for parents that travel, for those that are detained, for military personnel and parents and grandparents living in other states or countries". Focused on the bottom line, this short and simple book is straight forward about situations that kids with divorced parents face and provides creative ideas for participation with holidays and school/social functions for all age groups and gives careful, considerate comments on common childhood illnesses.
Thought provoking issues are touched upon such as stepparents, siblings, money, discipline and even car insurance!
This short and easy read is composed entirely of both good and bad experiences and based on years of personally living a life of “visitation”.
Shorten the Distance is full of innovative ideas as to how anyone can be a daily fixture in a child’s life regardless of where either of you are living.
This is not a boring how-to-book with suggestions from legal experts or psychologists, but an actual view into the child’s reality and the way of life today.
Written to assist long distance parents through many years, Shorten the Distance is a workbook of sorts offering advice so children can be nurtured in a variety of ways on a regular basis.
The author provides useful insight on holidays, medical situations and everyday school functions.
"Every parent teaches something to their child.....
the kind of parent the child wants to grow up to be
or
the kind of parent the child does not want to be"
