The Lived Experiences Of Minority Widowers With Dependent Children, Cathy-Ann L. King

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.
