Staying connected

If one parent has moved far away, or you don't get to see one parent very often, you might miss him or her.  Even if you live part of the time with each parent, it's normal to miss the one you're not with.

There are lots of things you can do to feel connected.  Here are a few suggestions:

Decide on regular times to talk on the phone.

Send e-mails often, even every day. (You could even write real letters!)

Ask each parent for a special thing that reminds you of him or her, like a photo, and keep it with you.
