Follow on Google News | More than Yellow Ribbons- Author Shows that out of Tragedy Comes Understanding about WarChildren’s book helps family deal with issues of war and family separation.
Her song, and subsequent book, Who’s That Man? provided that bridge for communication. She says, “ For me, world war was a thing of the past- nearly forgotten. It was then that my dad reminded me of our family’s history with war. My grandpa served in the Canadian Army during the Second World War and was gone from his family for four years. My dad never knew my grandpa until he was four years old. I had known this for a long time but never fully understood the impact of that separation until 9-11.” In a 2010 article in Psychology Today, Dr. Michael Ungar discussed the connections between fathers who are deployed and their children, stating “that deployed but not absent was the theme in speaking with 71 fathers and from the child's point of view, that's good news as anything that can be done to ease the burden of separation and maintain continuity of the parent-child attachment is going to help a child avoid feeling abandoned.” June 26, 2010 by Michael Ungar, Ph.D. in Nurturing Resilience Marny is hoping that her beautifully illustrated book and DVD Who’s That Man? will be a staple for military families and anyone who wants to broach the subject of war and family connections, and that it’s a starting point to help children cope with separation.
