Abstract: | Families sometimes face prolonged and frequent absences of a parent due to employment in industries that require work away or for military deployment. Many families, however, are finding ways to survive and thrive. Within Australian Defence Force (ADF) families, despite the high stress and inherent danger, most do cope, displaying strength and resilience. Limited research has been conducted with Australian military families with young children, even less focusing on protective factors. There is particularly a dearth of research about families who have left the ADF or who have experienced the death of an ADF parent. This study offers unique insights through exploring family experiences of parental deployment by applying a socioconstructivist approach from data derived through narrative research. Protective factors were identified through relationships, the ADF, social media, community organizations, government departments, and digital communication technologies. Understanding how these families manage and the protective factors they utilize may enable early childhood educators and family support services to better understand family resilience, and thus provide appropriate services for military families with young children. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Sage Open, 7(2), p. 1-16 | Publisher: | Sage Publications, Inc | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 2158-2440 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130399 Specialist Studies in Education not elsewhere classified | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 390499 Specialist studies in education not elsewhere classified 390302 Early childhood education |
