You can't always be there physically for your children-but that doesn't mean you can't be a good dad. Steven Ashley, founder of the Divorced Fathers Network, shows you how to remain an important part of your child's life-no matter how far apart you are.

Whether you're divorced, constantly traveling for work, or deployed overseas, The Long-Distance Dad can help. This practical handbook addresses all the inherent problems of long-distance parenting and teaches you how to:

  • Use technology to stay in touch
  • Establish relationships with teachers, coaches, and counselors
  • Take an active role in homework, school projects, and outside activities
  • Make the most of vacations and holidays
  • And much more
You may not be with your children. But you can be there for your children. Let The Long-Distance Dad help you be the great father you were meant to be.

The author of the self-published Fathers Are Forever: A Co-Parenting Guide for the 21st Century, Ashley has helped hundreds of men and women create cooperative relationships with their former spouses for the benefit of the children. He is a sought-after speaker and consultant to the media on behalf of fathers and their important contributions as parents.
