Helping Children Cope with Deployment *Parents and caregivers looking for a way to help children cope with the impact of having a parent deployed may find three videos especially helpful and its FREE... “Talk, Listen and Connect: Helping Families Cope with Military Deployment” is produced by the Sesame Street's Workshop especially for preschool children and follows the story of Sesame Street’s Elmo when his father goes away. The DVD comes in both Spanish and English and may be requested free of charge through Military OneSource (http://www.militaryonesource.com).
*Older children may benefit from “Military Youth Coping with Separation: When Family Members Deploy.” This short video includes interviews with teenagers who describe their experiences when a parent deployed. To view the video go to the Army’s behavioral health web site and click on the “Children” link: http://www.behavioralhealth.army.mil. A new cartoon feature, “Mr. Poe and Friends Discuss Family Reunion after Deployment”, aimed at 6 to 11 year olds, will be available for download in July 2007.
*The American Academy of Pediatrics also has information and resources to help children cope with deployment: http://www.aap.org/sections/unifserv/deployment/ysp-resources.htm.
