Deployment can be a difficult time, for both the adults being deployed and the families they are leaving behind. Children face a hose of special issues when one or both of their parents are deployed. This booklet was created to help parents and educators, two groups who care deeply about children, support children during this potentially stressing time. We also discuss ways that parents and educators can work together to ensure that the education process stays on track during a deployment. (Author abstract).
