Children of deployed members of the military experience a broad range of reactions to the stress of family deployment. Their reactions may include anger, sadness, fear, confusion,
Military families look forward to being together after a long deployment with many mixed emotions. Each family member will have different expectations. Every family situation is different. But, it is important to remember the needs and feelings of the returning family member, the adult at home and the children.
Military children are special. They make great sacrifices day in and day out as they support and provide motivation to the military parent who has chosen to serve. Today’s operations tempo, back-to-back deployments, longer hours for the non-deployed service member all point to one thing: less quality time spent with the military parent. During deployments, it is especially important that military children and their parents have access to support and information resources and programs. In this section, you will find resources and publications that focus on the special needs children have when a parent is deployed. Creating opportunities for the parent-child relationship to stay intact and grow, especially during a deployment, is critical. We hope this section allows you to find and utilize those programs and initiatives that meet your family’s needs and reduce the stress and challenges of being a military child.
