The Effects of Military Relocation on Children
Introduction
One of the characteristics of military jobs and soldiers is movement while on duty.
According to studies conducted before, on average military children move once after every three
years and this mostly happens during school days. The movements cause a lot of effects on these
children both socially and academically as there are children who are quick in adapting to
situations and there are also other groups of young ones who take time to adjust to new
environments. The research discusses the effects of military officers relocation on their children
particularly the ones still at the elementary level. The reason why the movement has been
stressful to students is that most of the time the children have to adapt to the new environment
and overcome the physical as well as cultural challenges surrounding them as they move with
their parents to modern workplaces.
There are a lot of definitions used in describing student mobility a fact that makes it hard
to measure the accuracy of the phenomenon. However, some scholars describe student mobility
as an inconsistency or interference with the educational experiences of these kids. About this
research, the movement is expressible as the alteration in the duty of the children’s parents who
happen to be military officers that lead to the elementary students changing their schools.
According to research carried some years back which shows that military families with
approximately two million children still move after every three years. It depicts that children
who are of military parents tend to relocate three times more than other regular students. The
pressure that these children experience at home ranges from, the issues related to admission to
new schools and lack of a stable lifestyle and education may negatively affect them

academically, socially and emotionally growth of the students. It, therefore, forces the schools'
staffs to understand the challenges that these students at the elementary level go through so that
they can be able to meet their needs with adequate prospects. In this article, we review the
literature and analyze the effects of military relocation on elementary students particularly on the
academic and social life.
According to the report released by the Department of Defense (DOD) on demographics
almost a decade ago showed that around 1.9 million children have one or both parents serving in
the military. The report further explained that approximately 1.2 million of these children have
the active duties of their parents since the parents are always on a mission and over six thousand
of these children live with their parents who serve in the reserve positions in the military. The
reason why the article has significance with the topic of study is that it shows that among the
children whose parents are serving in the United States military around 1.2 million of them fall
in the K-12 range of education which means that they fall between the age of six to eight years
old (Clever, & Segal, 2013).
Concerning the stance of the authors of this article (Clinical Neuroscience), the rate of
deployment on military officers has been on the rise in the United States for the past ten years.
The report states that most families are psychiatrically affected by the movement on their parents
and according to the studies carried in the recent past have confirmed the effects. The article in
its endeavor to analyze the social impact that the relocation of military officers has on
elementary children discovered that various psychiatric implications generate from the act. The
authors of the article decided to use a case study to set things.

The main reason why the article is of importance to this study is that it handles the social impacts
that military relocation has on children. Further analysis in conjunction with other materials and
surveys can help in finding a solution and the way forward to solve the issue. The research
document discusses the effects of deployment on parents and the children plus the society in
general (James, and Countryman, 2012).
Literature Review
Military families do not live like ordinary families, the movement and all the things that
the army officers deal with posses a lot of challenges both to the parents and the children.
Families affiliated with military fraternity face a lot of changes and transitions most of the time;
this factor makes it hard for them to grieve over their last shift before they are on the move once
again. One of the consistent stressors in these people’s lives is relocation since they move almost
three times more than the ordinary families. Children who are in the elementary level are
vulnerable to these movements as they are needed to cope with the change and be forced to adapt
to their new environment, but the reality is that most of them are too young to deal with such
stressors (Drummet et al., 2013).
With every move to another area and school, children from military parents face a lot of
challenges of slow transfer of records and differences in school curricula. In the end, this leads to
a lot of stress with the transition process for both parents and students. Some scholars found out
that admission into a new school could take at least three weeks, as the new school waits for the
appearance of authorized records from the previous school. The lack of communication that is on
most occasions experienced between the former and the current schools concerning the history of
schools attended, curricula, achievements, and stresses and...
