Advice from our missionaries on how to help your kids with all the transitions involved with missions:
We are careful who we let them get close to knowing people come and go a lot. Always involve them in our activities and decisions.
Make them feel part of the mission and calling as they are so receptive to the Holy Spirit and can also confirm or help with decisions the family faces.
Lots of reaffirming and grace, and a realization that they will process things differently than me, and will make different decisions from me to handle their stress.
Routine and family traditions.
We are very protective of our kids routine especially when we have been traveling to our home countries.
We have taken extra effort to create our own family traditions that we can do anywhere in the world so they always stay a part of us.
