Lester Spring Research Project
• There is an increasing amount of parental deployments in
  the United States.
• The absence of the father increases anxiety and
  depression in children.
• Children with deployed parents are often compared to
  those without, which is how most of the studies have
  been conducted.
• Parental deployments lead to a complete change in daily
  life, often times being a more troubling routine.
• It is often argued whether having deployed parents is a
  catastrophic event, but it is proven that children in the
  situation face unique challenges that others do not have
  to endure.
• Often times, families hear false information about injuries,
  leading to more stress and worry.
• These illnesses alter children’s daily lives, in many cases
  causing families schedules to be disrupted in many ways.
• Illnesses cause children to spend many hours at the
  hospital or even be in the care of another adult.
• Children have to be mentally strong to see their parent in
  such bad conditions.
• Depending on the age and maturity of the child, it is hard
  for them to understand the severity of the injury and the
  reason why it happened.
• The different types of sicknesses cause a lack of
  communication between parents and children, many times
  weakening their relationship.
• Clinicians have discovered that lack of appropriate information
  about the injury leads to unnecessary worry on the part of the
  children.
• Depression in the healthy parent could lead to a lack in
  parenting skills.
• Sometimes the injured parent’s sense of grief and loss
  interferes with the relationship between her and her children.
• The impact of PTSD on children is significant because of the
  difference in the parent’s actions and the way they treat their
  children.
• Children who are constantly worried about their parents
  dying are at a higher risk of developing psychiatric
  disorders or other behavioral or emotional problems.
• Advertisement of the media causes stress about the
  potential death of a child’s parents.
• In many cases, if death occurs, the surviving parent is too
  depressed to take care of the child.
• If a parent passes, many families who were living near
  the soldiers base may move back home away from a
  supportive military family. Often times the move back
  home leads to more depression in both the child and the
  surviving adult.
