Sometimes circumstances put distance between a parent and their child. Distance doesn't have to mean the end of a close, loving parent-child relationship. Parenting is about being involved, being loving and being available. Although it's difficult to be far away, with enough resolve, any parent can plan a big role in a child's life - whether near by or far away.

Long distance parent-child relationships can be the product of divorce custody disputes, moveaways, working abroad or travelling long distances. In order to maintain a close relationship with their child, long distance parents face a unique set of challenges and feelings that parents within close physical proximity with their children don't face. General parenting sites, while helpful, don't offer the support that long distance parents and children need.

The articles, hints and tips in Distanceparent.org are helpful, not only for long-distance parents but for all parents. They are ways to be aware of a child and to say 'I love you' on a constant basis. Most of all, long-distance parents will find hope and a community to connect with. Don't give up! Where there is a Will, there is a way!!!!!!
