This week’s topic is prompted from a question in my Facebook group about parenting from afar. 
This parent is working away for 3 weeks and wants to know how to help her child with the separation. 
Separations do affect children, but there is so much we can do to support them with separation - whether it's dropping your child to school or daycare every day or longer separations when you are away for days or weeks. ​

In this episode, I talk about how we can help children with separation before, during and after we are away from them. 
I talk a lot about meeting children in their world of play to support them with the feelings of separation and also using play to stay connected to them while you are away. 
I also talk about validating your child's experience if they are struggling with some big feelings around separation. If you would like to learn more about dealing with tantrums and meltdowns in a way that builds emotional resilience, then come along to my free class this Monday 15th May at 8pm UK time. It takes place over on my Facebook group Peacefully Parenting Under 8s. 
If you are ready to put these ideas into practice in your own parenting, come and work with me over in the Peaceful Parent School.  Click here to find out more and book your place.
