As a military family with over 20 moves in our rearview mirror and who knows how many more ahead of us, we’re familiar with some of the unique challenges that military families face.  I’m thrilled to be able to share some free resources for military families from Sesame Workshop that will help you if you’re part of a military family or a family facing similar challenges.Free Resources for Military Families - Organized 31

Sesame Workshop recognizes that military families and children face unique issues and challenges.  To help military families raise children who are not only smarter and kinder, but stronger, too, they’ve created free resources that are available at FamiliesNearAndFar.org.  The resources include the beloved and trusted Sesame Street characters sharing information and tips in the familiar Sesame Street style.

The Little Children, Big Challenges resource kit helps children overcome everyday challenges, including relocation, to become more resilient.Free Resources for Military Families - Organized 31

The Big Moving Adventure App helps make moving fun by allowing children to create their own Muppet friend to help them through the relocation process.  You can download the app for free and it’s available for Android, Apple and Kindle products.Free Resources for Military Families - Organized 31

There’s a kit specifically for families facing the death of a parent.  The kit, When Families Grieve,  includes an informational pamphlet for the caregiver, a DVD and a book that you can share with your child.  The book, Something Small,  features Elmo and Jesse’s mom helping Jesse deal with the loss of her father.Free Resources for Military Families - Organized 31

These resources are available in both English and Spanish and you can find them at FamiliesNearAndFar.org.  You can also find more military-specific content on Facebook.
