#62 How to be a strong family when miles apart – with Rhoda Bangerter

Synopsis:

How do families stay together when work takes them away from each other? Wellbeing, Partnership, Parenting Together, Smooth Transitions and Emergency Preparedness: strengthen these five pillars. After I describe the pillars, I go through how you can use this framework if you are the one travelling, you are the one with the children, you are deciding whether to take a posting that would mean time apart, you are preparing to live geographically apart.

What you will learn:

Pillar 1 Personal Wellbeing and Development

Pillar 2 Partnership as a Long-Distance Relationship

Pillar 3 Parenting Together 

Pillar 4 Smooth Transitions

Pillar 5 Emergencies and Dangerous Locations

After I describe the pillars, I go through how you can use this framework if 

  • you are the one travelling
  • if you are the one with the children
  • if you are deciding whether to take a posting that would mean time apart
  • if you are preparing to live geographically apart
