Field Problem: And Baby Makes Two (or Three)
Dear, Field Problems:
I’m in a little bit of a different situation recently. I am the proud father of a new baby boy. His mother and I are not together. This is my first, and I’ve never had to address the meshing of my military career with family matters. What can you tell me that may stop my feeling that I’m going to compound my mistakes?

Field Problem: Military Child Resources
Dear, Field Problems:
I’ve heard that the month of April is when the military honors military children. Are there any special things going on at installations? Where can I find out more about resources for my children?

Field Problem: Helping Military Kids Cope
Dear, Field Problems:
I have a toddler boy; he is 2 years old and is having a hard time adjusting to Daddy not being home. The problem we are having is I am not sure how to get him to understand (he is acting out) and what I can read to him that will help him understand. You recently came up with a list of books for a 5-year-old, but I wasn’t sure if they were age appropriate with a language that my son will understand.
Any chance you can suggest books that are easily understood by toddlers and can help them deal with deployments? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Fonder Heart, Crazier Brain?
Yesterday afternoon, I stopped at the commissary to grab some things, when I found myself in the health and beauty aisle. Without thinking, I grabbed my husband’s brand of body wash, popped it open, and inhaled deeply. The next thing I knew, I was clutching that bottle with tears running down my face. I rushed out of the aisle and quickly paid for my purchases.
