I made the mistake of asking for too much info when I worked with military families overseas. I’d never been given the good advice you talk about. I pressed the mother for information about what her husband did, thinking I was being friendly. I ended up making us both uncomfortable and learning a good lesson. I should have known better when she told me he worked in intelligence!

Another video idea for families is to have them videotape the deploying parent reading some of the child’s favorite stories so that the child can watch the videos while the parent is away.
