Military children quite often face challenges their peers seldom do. They’re uprooted continuously as they follow a parent or guardian’s military career across the country. Sometimes a parent is gone on a six-month deployment (overseas). They’re away from extended family. They’re always moving between bases and they move to a different school constantly, said Shannon Chapman, youth programs co-ordinator for the Shilo Military Family Resource Centre.
