Children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of military deployment. They may experience anxiety, depression, and behavioral problems. They may also struggle academically and socially. In addition, military children are at increased risk for obesity, asthma, and other chronic health conditions.

Despite the challenges, military families also display a great deal of resilience. They find ways to cope with the stress of deployment and to maintain their relationships. They also draw strength from their community and from their faith.

This book explores the risks and challenges faced by military families, as well as the resilience they display in coping with these challenges. Drawing on research and case studies, the book provides insights into the experiences of military families during deployment, including the impact on children, relationships, and overall well-being. It also highlights the resources and support available to families, and offers practical strategies for coping with the challenges of deployment.

This book is an essential resource for anyone working with military families, and for families themselves who are seeking to understand and cope with the challenges of deployment.
