When kids are young it probably is more for your benefit if you send them a good night text if you are away from them. However, when they are a bit older, they will appreciate it more and send you a loving one back. Skype is also available which is often better for kids.
If you are away try and think about your kid’s text content during the day and you could take a photo of something you see. For example, you may see a shop with their name on it or a street sign. You may also see something they love or talk about regularly. They will love the thought of Mummy or Daddy doing this.
If you are heading out to dinner try, even if it is a bit early, text before you go out, so you don’t forget. Kids are not very forgiving! And if for some reason you will be unreachable for a day or two – communicate this.
