Helping your children get to know their absent parent

Children are hungry for information – ANY information so this worksheet will get you remembering all sorts of things about their absent parent that you may well have forgotten.

Absent Dads

One of our main messages involves having a good image of Dad, bringing up the children with their father and recognising the importance of Dad.

Dear Kate & Emily, I hope you can help me.... It's my birthday coming up and I'm excited, as I love birthdays! I want my children to give me something, and make a card and a fuss of me! BUT, they're with their Dad on my birthday weekend and I'm really not convinced he's in the mood to remember, or to be too bothered about sorting something out. Am I showing a rather unpleasant spoilt side to me by even worrying about it? I should be more grown-up shouldn't I? If I'm not - then how can I make sure the children do something, without it being me who organises my own birthday cards?
