If you know any children whose parent is deployed or going to deploy, I want to tell you about a free Sesame Street video for children of deployed soldiers.
It can be ordered or downloaded at militaryonesource.com and you'll see the link for the free video on the first page.
I ordered this a few weeks ago and I can't believe I cried over a Sesame Street video but I did. My son who is eight and considers himself above Sesame Street told me later he was really glad we got it. I watched him while he watched it and he looked sad when Elmo's daddy was deploying and so happy when his daddy came home. If anybody could relate, it's my son. The video prepares children for their parent's departure and has kids and families talking about the sorts of things they do while mommy or daddy is away.
I really recommend it. And, if you don't know somebody who is deployed, find somebody. Guarantee, that person has a family who could use all the support they can get.
God bless
