Introduction

Forces children’s educational experiences differ from those of civilian children in many ways. They have numerous obstacles to overcome when their parents have to move again, but generally they are more flexible and adapt well to new surroundings. Reports suggest that each move can put a child back 6 months because the children need to be given time to settle in, make friends and build up their confidence and self esteem but in general they are more resillient and adaptable.
