Synopsis

You can't always be there physically for your children-but that doesn't mean you can't be a good dad.

Whether you're divorced, constantly traveling for work, or deployed overseas, The Long-Distance Dad can help. This practical handbook addresses all the inherent problems of long-distance parenting and teaches you how to: Use technology to stay in touch; Establish relationships with teachers, coaches, and counselors; Take an active role in homework, school projects, and outside activities; Make the most of vacations and holidays; And much more. You may not be with your children. But you can be there for your children. Let The Long-Distance Dad help you be the great father you were meant to be.
