Having a parent that travels for work can be hard on the other parent. The parent who stays home is left to handle all of the day-to-day needs of the family. Add to this the fact that many children will miss the traveling parent and things can quickly get overwhelming. So how do you survive and thrive when your partner travels? We have some tips in our parenting survival guide for when one parent travels.
When one parent is out of the picture because of traveling it can be easy to forget about the routine your family typically has. This may seem like a great idea at the time but it can actually work against you. Many children thrive with a consistent routine. There is something predictable and reliable in routine for them. This can help them handle the change of having a parent gone. Here are a few tips for maintaining a routine.
Children can have a hard time with the disconnection of having a parent who travels. It is so important during this time to find ways to connect. This could mean taking advantage of video calling, sending special emails, or having cards set aside from the traveling parent. Little forms of connections can matter a great deal to a child who is missing their parent. Here are a few ways to connect with a parent who is traveling.
For some children, knowing that a parent is traveling can leave them feeling like they are missing out. If you have a partner who will be traveling often, it might be fun to set up a special tradition that you do during this time. It could be a movie night, ice cream date, or a special game you play together. Sometimes this special time together can make a world of difference for a child who is missing their parent.
