Deployments Taking Toll on Military’s Children - NYTimes.com


Deployments Taking Toll on Military’s Children - NYTimes.com:

"After eight years of war, children with parents in the military are reporting signs of emotional wear and tear from long and repeated deployments, a new study shows.

The study by the RAND Corporation found that children in military families were more likely to report anxiety than children in the general population. The researchers also found that the longer a parent had been deployed in the previous three years, the more likely their children were to have difficulties in school and at home."
