This week’s family-life focus

Staying connected across distance does not require long daily conversations. A letter, a brief update or an agreed time to talk may suit your family better. Clarify response expectations so contact remains welcome rather than becoming another deadline.

  1. Choose a convenient way to stay in touch.
  2. Write a short update for a distant relative.
