Support for Military Families
At ParentLink, we've created a healthy parenting
toolkit to help you talk about deployment, relocation,
dangerous work, times of crisis, and other general
parenting topics.
Below are the materials created for this toolkit. These are provided free of charge and are available on our website for download or you can contact the WarmLine for copies or submit an online request.
What is “Step Into Your Child’s World”?
Step Into Your Child’s World is a user-friendly tool
kit, full of healthy parenting information for military
families with children, ages 0-10. The materials have
been written to inform parents about topics related to
parenting in the context of deployment, relocation, and
dangerous work. The kit also provides general parenting
information. Available materials range from pass-along
cards, bookmarks, and postcards to checklists, fact
sheets, and Q&A informational sheets to children's
books.
For more information, visit Healthy Parenting Initiative.
What is the goal of this project?
The goal of this project is to help parents in
military families to increase their parenting
effectiveness by applying strategies as a result of
“stepping into their child’s world and seeing things
from their children’s point of view.”
