With 1.2 million children coping with military parents serving their country, it is important for educators to recognize their needs and to understand how to support these children (Stroul, 2006). Since children spend so much time at school, the effects of parent deployment may surface within the school setting. Although a safe return of the loved one is usually the ultimate concern, in the meantime, children have to deal with not having contact with the loved one for extended periods of time, dealing with other family members' anxiety, changing routines, and taking on new responsibilities (Strow. 2006). It is important for educators to become familiar with the stages of military deployment which include pre-deployment, deployment. sustainment, reunion, and post-deployment (Stoul, 2006; Kennedy, 2007). While children typically show a range in emotions during deployment, there are common themes that research indicated children generally experience. Throughout these stages, counseling strategies and activities that school counselors can use to help children are identified. These include genuinely listening to the child's feelings, monitoring political views when around children, keeping in contact with the child's current guardian, and modifying educational plans for the child, if needed. As redeployment or relocation may also be a strong possibility for many families, children may have different responses to the repeat cycle of deployment stages. Relocation to live with a temporary custodial grandparent, aunt or uncle is also a common challenge children with military parents can face in times of war. Counselors can open lines of communication with the temporary guardian and assist with the transition to a new school while helping with unfamiliar school related issues.
