A 2011 Department of Defense report approximates that 44 percent
of military personnel have children. "T. A. for Military Kids: The
Awesome Military Kid's Guide to Feelings" explains that it can be
hard enough for kids to figure out who they are and how life works
even under the best of circumstances, even more so when adding to
the mix the unique challenges associated with being a military kid.
This can include frequent moves, regularly adjusting to new schools
and making new friends, absence of the military parent, increased
family responsibilities, and re-establishing family roles when the
deployed parent returns.
A kid's perception of an event like deployment is often very
different from an adult's. Depending on their age, kids may believe
they are responsible for the deployed parent going away, while this
thought would never enter an adult's mind. "T. A. for Military
Kids" talks about the normal feelings all kids have and then
explains the emotions experienced by military kids when faced with
the events of everyday military life.
This invaluable guide helps military kids make sense of their
experiences and understand that all their feelings are normal and
okay, even the challenging ones. For military parents, "T. A. for
Military Kids" makes life a little easier by encouraging kids to
talk about what's going on in their heads.
