For our little heroes... |
The children of our nation's Veterans sometimes have a hard time understanding the
changes in their mom and dad after a deployment. It's difficult, especially for the very
young, to understand why their loving, tender parent came back sad or angry.
We hope to expand this section a great deal. But for now, here are the resources we've
found. If you know of others we should add, or would like to contribute to this page in any
way, please feel free to contact us!

Web Resources for Children of Veterans
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and The Family - a web booklet from Veterans Affairs
Canada. This is an excellent source of information and gives specific tips about meeting
the emotional needs of your child and about the signs / symptoms of stress in a child.
Children of Veterans & Adults with PTSD - a fact sheet from the National Center for PTSD.
This information is a little "dry" and clinical, but still has some very good background
information and specific tips.
Returning from the War Zone - A Guide for Families - a booklet available in PDF format
from the National Center for PTSD. It has a small section specifically about children on
page 3.
Center of Knowledge on Healthy Child Development - This is a resource listed on the
Veterans Affairs Canada site and has a WEALTH of information about parenting and
meeting the needs of your child, especially during difficult times.
Online Forum for Children Affected by PTSD - This is a monitored, online group specifically
for children of combat veterans suffering from PTSD. It is a new group without many
members (yet). But, we truly believe that this is a great way to give children an outlet for
the many feelings they encounter about their mom or dad's struggle with Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder.
