Course overview
Lesson Overview

7.84 – Preparing Children for Temporary Separation: Temporary separation—like travel, work shifts, or hospital stays—can feel overwhelming to children. Preparation prevents panic and builds trust. Explain where you’re going, how long you’ll be away, and who will care for them. Create visual calendars or daily notes to track the countdown until reunion. Leave comfort items like photos, stuffed animals, or recorded messages. Encourage children to express their feelings openly before and during the separation. Maintain consistent communication to reinforce connection. Upon return, dedicate time to reestablish routine and security. These experiences teach that distance does not equal abandonment. Over time, healthy separation fosters independence and emotional strength. Love stays constant even when presence must pause.
