AlbakiReads Editorial

Practical support for families facing deployment

Jerilyn Marler’s guide focuses on the challenges young children may face when a parent is deployed and on ways caregivers can help maintain a sense of connection across distance. It includes 22 activities for use before and during deployment, alongside guidance addressing children’s needs and coping. The subject is framed around the family’s experience, with military parents, grandparents, and other caregivers all named as potential users. The book’s emphasis on preparation and shared activities makes deployment the central organizing concern, rather than parenting advice in general.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Military parents preparing young children for a deployment
  • Grandparents and other caregivers supporting a child during a parent’s deployment
  • Caregivers seeking activity ideas for staying connected across distance

Book overview

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.
