In this episode of Kitchen Spoons & Combat Boots, we’re recognizing the Month of the Military Child with an important conversation about the unique experiences of military kids. Joined by our Child & Youth Coordinator, Lisa Larson, we talk through the real challenges military children face, especially during deployments, along with the strength and resilience they demonstrate every day. From navigating routines at home to managing stress at different ages, this episode highlights what life looks like behind the scenes for military families.
We also discuss:
• Ways to support military kids at home and in schools
• Upcoming Month of the Military Child events, including Purple Up Day
• Resources available to families, including extracurricular grants and community programs
• Why connection and community support matter more than ever
• Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, educator, or service member, this conversation reinforces a simple truth: supporting military kids takes a team, and no one has to do it alone.
