We always want to aid our kids in every way possible, and this is a organic quality that's built into us from the moment we grow to be mother and father. Expanding up, our youngsters want a lot of help and it's great when we can assist them in their endeavours.
Technology has come so far, it is simply amazing. As you use technology more and more in the corporate environment, think about using those same tools on the home front and staying close with your little ones while you're away.
One of my favorite ways to stay connected with Parker, my youngest, is to bring his favorite Spiderman story in my suitcase when I travel. That way, I can read it to him over FaceTime before he goes to bed.
Of course, it isn't exactly the same as tucking him into bed, but it is a close second. We can laugh, we can look at pages together, and it helps us keep our bedtime routine, even if from a distance.
Skype is a great tool, too. I regularly use Skype to help Megan and Emily with their homework. Facebook is great for sharing photos (or keeping track of a teenager), and an abundance of smartphone apps make it easy to share and view pics or short videos while you're on the go.
There are a ton of tools available, and new ones are being released every day. I am certain that as I write this, I am already out of date. But the lesson is still the same: embrace technology and make it work for you.
My daughter lost her first tooth, something we had been waiting to happen for weeks, while I was on a business trip. The daycare teachers were very excited and did the perfect thing: they sent me a picture. Yet, when I received the big news, I still felt a sharp pang of guilt that I wasn't there to witness it. I felt bad, I felt guilty, and I once again questioned why I spent so much time working. But then I realized--this could have happened while I was at the grocery store or while I was filling the car up with gas. It didn't happen just because I was working. Working or not working, you can't possibly witness every single milestone. Remind yourself of this before you let the guilt begin creeping in. This chapter addresses what comes when the separation begins.
