Military families such as yours are extraordinarily dedicated, strong, and resilient. You go through continual adjustments, requiring special effort and teamwork. You may use these unusual demands as an opportunity to grow closer and stronger to one another. With the whole family working together, children can feel nurtured and more secure.
You and everyone in your family are heroes: by making a parent’s service possible, by persevering at home, and by rallying around the returned service member when the time comes. To help you manage, Sesame Street is offering Sesame Street Family Connections, a part of the “Talk, Listen, Connect” project, where you’ll find information and ideas about deployments, homecomings, and changes.
