Summary
National Guard youth at a summer camp participated in an individual interview regarding their behavior during parental deployment. Participants described a range of responses, including assuming additional household tasks to maintaining typical routines. Some youth intentionally withdrew from family relationships to avoid conflict or minimize stress on the at-home parent.
