Brochure for Parents
The brochure "Families without Borders: 20 Questions and Answers about Children for the Parents Who Leave the Country" is specially designed for the parents who intend to leave or have already left the country to work abroad. On the other hand, it can also serve as a pocket guidebook for all the parents.
You will find in it the parents’ most common questions about communication and relationship with children before and after leaving. The brochure tries to give useful and short answers to help parents maintain and develop a sound and "borderless" relationship with the children. We strongly believe that the geographic distance that separates temporarily the members of a family cannot be an obstacle to the communication with the children.
The contents of the publication are:
