relocations and separations, along with the loss of friendships and starting over in a new town, are among the most noted stressors for the average military child. Yet, despite these stressors, studies have shown military adolescents are significantly less likely to engage in risk-taking behaviors such as alcohol, cigarette, and marijuana use (Hutchinson, 2006). They are additionally more likely to exhibit improved behavior and resiliency (Weber & Weber, 2005). For example, alcohol use among high school aged military youths is 20.8%, while the national average is 44.9% (Hutchinson, 2006). Surprisingly, these normally level-headed, resilient adolescents show completely different statistics during a parent’s deployment. There are an estimated 2 million children with parents in the Armed Forces, ranging from ages newborn to eighteen, with 1.3 million children being of school-age (The National Child Traumatic Stress Network, 2016). According to a retrospective cohort study, within these 2 million kids, behavioral disorders increase by 19% and stress disorders increase by 18% when a military parent is deployed. To perform this study, the records of children of active-duty personnel, during the fiscal years 2006 and 2007, were cross-referenced with their parents’ deployment records. This study additionally found that mental and behavioral health visits were increased by 11% among children with a deployed parent (Gorman, Eide, & Hisle-Gorman, 2010). While some may argue these…

SO MANY DISAGREE WITH JAPAN KILLING WHALES There are many environmental groups and various governments that completely…

The explorer conditioning technique (ECT): Treat a new task as a quest for new discoveries. To be able to perform at your peak, you have to love what you are doing. Whether it’s acting, bartending or washing dishes, you have to learn to love what you do. One way to achieve this is to technically act like any explorer would, which is to be thrilled by something new every day (or treat everything as such even when it’s not new). It should be as if each task you were making were coming…
