What challenges do children of military personnel face?
Fear for the life and health of a relative who serves
Uncertainty, inability to plan for the future
Separation and absence of a father or mother in everyday life
Loss of the usual way of life, and sometimes home and environment in cases of relocation or change of daily routines due to the service of one of the parents
Contrast with civilian families - different experiences can cause a feeling of “Something is wrong with me”
Overload for the remaining parent - many responsibilities, own emotions of the caring adult can take away resources needed to support the child
More challenging to go through development stages, due to changes in living conditions and family structure
