🧒 Raising children (tarbiyah) · #167
Our two homes are far apart and the children rarely meet. How do we keep their bond?
Distance need not break the sibling bond when there is intention and a little planning to keep the relationship going. Set a regular routine of video calls, for example at weekends, so that the children see each other's faces and hear each other's voices. Create a family chat group to share photos, exam results and good news. Plan face-to-face meetings during school holidays or festivals, even if only a few times a year. Encourage them to send small gifts or cards on special days. What matters is consistency, not frequency, because a relationship cared for little by little stays strong even at a distance.
