Participation In Sports And The Development Of Resilience In Adolescents, Jason Johnson

Lived Experiences Of Military Personnel Reintegrating With Their Preschool Aged Children, Rob Atchison
Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies
Researchers have indicated that school-aged children with a caregiver who had been deployed were more likely to exhibit emotional and behavioral problems.

However, there remained an important gap in the literature regarding the experiences of the military personnel reintegrating with their preschool aged child. Therefore, the purpose of this phenomenological study was to address the experiences of military caregivers with their preschool-aged children through semistructured interviews to better understand the variables that impacted the ability …
