Resources
Life in a Naval family can be hard with long separations and dealing with deployments. Particularly for younger children who can struggle to understand why mummy or daddy is away for so long. Our books can help you talk to your child/children about this. Call us or email book@navalchildrenscharity.org.uk to receieve a free copy. Remember to put your name and address and tell us which book you want: Henry about a mummy going away or Zoe about a daddy going away. It doesn’t matter which book you read with your child, they are to help you ask them how they feel when someone is going away. Alternatively, you can download a digital copy below.
Henry the time Penguin
Our new book is now available. This story is about a mummy who is going away. If you think this might be helpful to you and your child/children, ask us for a free copy.
