Moving from duty station to duty station is a fact of life for most military families; along with the excitement of exploring a new state (or country), there are also anxieties about new military schools, neighbors and expectations. And when a military family moves to a new state, military spouse education along with the children's schooling is suddenly disrupted.

And no matter how many times a military family moves, helping young children cope with the news is always difficult. A recent article in Military Spouse magazine highlighted some effective ways to help military children adjust to a move.

The advice for military families, included:

-Communication: like adults, children appreciate being kept in the loop; explaining them the who, what, when, where and why of the move is essential

-Go over the timing: get a calendar and explain when you'll be moving and what the various steps are

-Details about the new base/town: share as mush as possible about the family's future home

-Keeping in touch: explain that your family will keep in touch with current friends and neighbors

And it's not just children who face difficulties with a move; it's also military spouses, who often leave behind friends, jobs, volunteer work and involvement with distance education military programs.

When it comes to disrupted education and out-of-state tuition rates, spouses should look to military scholarships, Government Career Advancement Accounts (CAA) and military spouse discounts to help them pay for school. A search on the Internet will also help them locate schools that have accredited military education options. More and more these days, schools are becoming more sensitive to the career and educational needs of military spouses.
