Often when immigrant families arrive in Canada, they leave behind many loved ones. Both parents and children feel lonely and fearful. Encourage your children to explore new friendships but you can also help them honour friends and family left behind by drawing pictures and writing stories about their new experiences and mailing them. Take pictures, send text messages, or have internet chats with family if possible.
