Veteran Parents with Toddlers (1-3 Years)

But should you talk to your toddler about your deployment? DEFINITELY! It is very important to talk to your toddler about deployment, but remember that he/she cannot understand lengths of time. You can say you are sad that you missed his/her birthday party and trick-or-treating together for Halloween, (etc.), and that you are happy to be home now. ................
