Parenting is a learned experience with many challenges. Yet, having your own family and raising children can be the most satisfying experience in one's lifetime. In times of a crisis, families often need help in sorting out the problem spots while attending to their day-to-day responsibilities. Thus military families are faced with some unique challenges and we have provided this section as a resource. However, families who are experiencing difficulties that are beyond their control or ability to cope should seek help from a trained family counselor or healthcare professional.
While good parenting involves a host of factors, children who grow up in a safe, caring, and stable home environment feel loved and safe. To assist family efforts to create such environments, we have provided links to resources on child development and rearing along with educational materials from reliable sources. As a result, DHCC wants to address issues relevant to child development from infancy to young adulthood. We hope that you find this information useful and valuable. We invite you to consider sending us any questions, concerns or requests for information/assistance that you may have. We would be pleased to assist in any way possible. Please call us on 1-800-796-9699.
