Impact of Military Lifestyle on Children

Abstract

The purpose of the literature review is to examine the research on the factors of military lifestyle that affect children of service members. In order to begin a discussion about military lifestyle, three key themes were identified: parental deployment, frequent relocations, and educational service delays. The paper seeks to identify unique challenges for military-connected students and examine military lifestyle implications. This project concludes with suggestions for future research and for equitable policy enactment.
