Long Distance Parents

Tips for Parents Grappling with “Distance”

In 1981, George Newman and Blossom Valley Press published 101 Ways to be a Long-Distance Super Dad . . . or Mom, Too!   Numerous military chaplains obtained large quantities to support their pre-deployment briefings as well as continued family ministries.   George updated the book in 2008 and has inventory available.  

This book offers help for the parent who lives or works distant from his or her children, but wants to remain an important part of their lives.  An award-winning journalist, George draws on his own experience as a divorced father, sharing valuable insights for strengthening the parent-child relationship across the miles.

The new edition includes tips for using the latest technology – including the Internet, and “Virtual Visitation.”  There are creative ideas for special occasions including holidays, graduations, and special achievement honors. 

The book has been widely endorsed by parents groups, conciliation court counselors, domestic court judges, and military chaplains.   Easily accessible and very practical, it is highly recommended to parents who want to keep in close contact with their children, but find it difficult to overcome the barriers posed by distance.

George Newman’s tips apply beyond military deployments  or other situations of regular distance from children.  They also could be extremely helpful for Warriors who have returned home with various wounds and are struggling with family relationships.  Reading George’s 101 Ways . . . provokes the imagination for other practical ideas to overcome “distance” with children.

A good friend of the Military Chaplains Association, George and Blossom Valley Press offer special discounted bulk quantity rates for all military chaplain orders.  The publisher is CCR registered with DOD.  See below for contact information.
