Family life in the military -- Housing -- Having a baby -- Adoption -- Discovering your child has a disability -- Child-care and preschool options -- Education and disruptions in schooling -- Special needs -- Overseas schools and homeschooling -- Moving and coping with frequent moves -- Family separation and deployments -- Finances, taxes, and financial difficulties -- Employment -- Coping with loss and death -- Health care and insurance -- Coping with stress -- Substance abuse -- Domestic violence -- Coping with emergencies.
Military life places unique demands on military families with children including frequent moves, disruptions in schooling, family separation, health care issues, loss of friends, financial hardships, underemployment of military spouses, and the ever present threat of risk of injury or death of loved ones deployed. But learning how to navigate these challenges can help prepare families for those events as they arise. Here, the authors have assembled information about common problem areas and have included detailed information about solutions and resources available. The information in this guide has been carefully gathered from hundreds of sources and resources and includes the most up to date information about child services and benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs, allowing serving members of the military with children to quickly access information that they need regarding all aspects of child care, from raising a family to education, and from coping with constant moves to grief counseling. It also covers other critical issues such as wellness, family solidarity, benefits, insurance and problems such as addiction and domestic violence. Readers will gain a better understanding of what child services and benefits are available and how to obtain them as well as secrets for successful relationships and family bonding.
