Ways to Support Military Families |

Here are some ways to support military families:
Recognize the contribution
Many classes make crafts, write letters, and send care packages overseas. This is all fantastic, but try to recognize that the family contributes and serves as well. Many soldiers will tell you that their families need more support than they do. Make deployment and separation part of the normal conversation in your program and reach out to support the families in any way that you can. |
Make connections
Children rely a lot on their social or peer groups. Even toddlers and preschoolers can benefit from friends with similar experiences. Connecting military children together is the easiest way to create a support connection for both children. This is especially important for military children who move around a lot. |
