The Future of Children
|December 19, 2014
Summary
Young military children face unique risks due to parental deployment stress. Supporting parents and maintaining routines are key to building resilience in these vulnerable children.
Area of Science:
- Psychology
- Military and Veteran Family Studies
- Child Development
Background:
- Most research on military families overlooks young children, who are particularly vulnerable.
- Parental deployment increases risks for young children, including maltreatment, due to separation and stress on the remaining parent.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify risks and protective factors for young children in military families.
- To explore strategies for enhancing resilience in young military children and their families.
- To inform policies and programs supporting this population.
Main Methods:
- Extrapolation from attachment theory and research on disaster-affected families.
- Review of existing literature and programs focused on young military children.
- Identification of key themes for policy and program development.
Main Results:
- Deployment is highly stressful for young children, impacting their attachment and well-being.
- Parental stress during deployment can negatively affect parenting capacity.
- Consistent routines and maintaining connection with the absent parent are crucial for resilience.
Conclusions:
- Supporting parental coping mechanisms is fundamental to fostering resilience in young military children.
- Evidence-based programs and policies are needed to address the unique needs of this population.
- 10 guiding themes are proposed for future interventions and policy development.

2.6K
The sensorimotor stage, the initial phase of Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, spans the first two years of a child's life. During this period, infants actively engage with their surroundings, building cognitive awareness through direct interaction with the world. This interaction is primarily based on sensory perception and motor actions, allowing infants to gradually understand basic physical properties and predict how objects interact within their environment.

The initiation of cell-mediated immunity can be observed as early as the third month of fetal growth, with active antibody-mediated immunity following approximately one month later.
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.

Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Attachment is vital for infant development, as warm social interactions support growth and well-being. In a classic 1958 study by Harry Harlow, the significance of warmth and comfort in forming attachments was examined. Harlow separated newborn monkeys from their mothers and provided two artificial "mothers": one made of cold wire and the other covered in soft cloth. Despite the wire mother offering food, the infant monkeys preferred the comfort of the cloth mother, demonstrating that...

Pediatric patient dosages diverge from adults due to disparities in body surface area, total body water, and extracellular fluid per kilogram of body weight. The dosing regimen considers the variations in pharmacokinetics and pharmacology across distinct age groups, encompassing preterm newborns, infants, young children, older children, and adolescents. Calculation of pediatric patient doses is predicated on determining body surface area, which exhibits a superior correlation with the child's...
