Helping Your Young Child Cope with a Parent's Deployment is a lively and practical guide for military parents (and grandparents and other caregivers) of young children coping with deployment. Saying goodbye for about a billion days is a high-stress experience for children. Parents worry: What do my kids need in order to thrive? How can I help them cope? What kinds of activities foster a meaningful connection across the miles?

Jerilyn Marler--who has been a military child, military wife, and military mom--answers those questions and more with cheerful wisdom. She includes 22 fun ways to help kids before and during deployment.

Military parents who want the best for their children should keep this book handy.
