[QUOTE="keith99, post: 57519188, member: 211648"] My only firm adivice is NO NOT LIE. If they ask speak truthfully. I'm inclined to think there is no good in pushing too much on them, but I'm also inclined to think it is better they hear things from you than elsewhere. Also be concerend with listening to your children. A conversation is better than a lecture, and be ready to change your direction. Often adults read far to much into a childs question and give answers that say far too much. In a conversation you can decide to say more or less depending on yuor childs responce. For example, if you live onbase and some other childs father comes home and yuor husband does not the child may ask why. Your childs 'concern' may have nothign to do with military matters, just fairness, and may best be answered by some form of 'because it is his turn'. [/QUOTE]
