Toddlers don't understand why mom or dad has left; only that they're gone. Frequent separations are equally hard on spouses. Not only are they left to deal with the home front, they also fear for their loved ones' safety, since media coverage often features each deployment's dangerous realities. As a result of the increasing level of military operations, defense officials want to better prepare service members and spouses for their intermittent role as single parents. Officials here say the unique challenges associated with separations may not be adequately addressed in parenting training offered at base family centers, chaplain and family advocacy programs and medical clinics. DoD 's Office of Family Policy, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension $1.5 million iniSystem, has launched a c tiative to develop military-specifiparenting resources. The Air Force is the executive agent for the project. Officers' Club titled "Are you physically, emotionally and mentally Y2K compliant?". The conference was sponsored by the 75th Medical Group and the Family Support Center. Farmer is the Domestic Violence Coordinator for the Utah Attorney General's office. She's a certified Impact of Crime instructor and '.x teaches D throughout the Utah State Prison system and at conferences statewide. Liesel Woodard of the Family Support Center said the quality of speakers was outstanding and they covered a gamut of pertinent issues. two-yea- r, X t " $UG& off any computer, monitor & printer package yny CSS 1GB 3- k Package U.IL-Baliita C3 eMadibie maim nwfltv C3 Canon Printer MaIMn Rebate (Sept 8, 1S33) Be part of Kip's taping of his new Greatest hit CD.

Military family members and family support program specialists will attend the hands-o- n working conference, aimed at meeting military parents' critical needs now and into the next decade. "Demands on parents are greater than ever before," said an Air Force family advocacy program manager. Military missions have changed since the Cold War ended, he said. "We've drawn down about a third, but demands are up about 40 percent." Historically, the military has provided parenting classes, which have been helpful to the relatively small percentage of people who attend, the official said. The Healthy Parenting Initiative is designed to reach the larger percentage that.doesn't attend and to make the information useful and accessible, he said. The military has a wealth of material on parenting and on deployments, "but no one has ever pulled it all together," the official said. "We want to do a better job of providing this content in a wide range of formats to a high number of people in ways they can use it."
