MONTH OF THE MILITARY CHILD: WHAT THE MILITARY IS DOING TO OUR KIDS

Happy April Everyone! It is the month of the Military child where we take 30 days to honor the approx. 1.9 million amazing kids who sacrifice as their parents serve this great country. Military kids truly don’t receive enough credit for their strength and resilience and even less credit is given for the adults that they grow into.

Let’s talk about what the Military is doing to our kids and why we are so grateful to be raising our son in the Military. Purple Up!

 
THE MILITARY IS TEACHING THEM PRIDE

The pride we feel when seeing our spouse in uniform is the same pride our Military kids feel when seeing their mom or dad in uniform. Regardless of how big or small they are, they learn to have pride in the flag, in the uniform and pride for this country. Military kids stand proud to announce that they have a parent who serves this country and the pledge of allegiance means more to them than simple words that we are “supposed” to memorize. I will always remember the excitement my two- year- old has when he sees an Army commercial and yells daddy while clapping and pointing to the TV screen.

THE MILITARY IS MAKING THEM RESILIENT

It’s no secret that Military kids are some of the most resilient. They survive PCS moves, being the new kid in school and the hard times while a parent is away from home. Somehow, like a flower in May; they bloom and thrive in this lifestyle they were born into. For them, the Military is a way of life and the only lifestyle they know. They adapt and they grow up being much better because of it. These skills in resiliency teach them how to overcome the obstacles that they may face in the adult world. They know much better than most how to connect and make a place for themselves in this world.  

THE MILITARY IS GIVING THEM A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY
