Where I’ve Been, Where I’m Going
It can help children to have a concrete reminder of where they've been and where they're going!
Use the map to see where you’ve been and where you’re going: use a blue crayon or marker to color in all the places the family has lived, an orange crayon or marker to show where the military parent has served, and a red crayon to show where the family lives now. Use purple to show where what comes next! Ask, “What would you like to know about that place?”
