The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in five areas of early childhood development for male and female children from military families and civilian families. It specifically aimed to identify if there was a significant difference in communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem-solving, and personal-social skills between male and female children, and between children from military and civilian families. A two-way multivariate analysis of variance was used to compare group means. The population of interest was children two months to three years of age. The sample was comprised of 156 civilian parents in both civilian and active-duty military families with children ages two months to three years. The data analysis did not yield significant results for the main effects of biological sex on communication skills, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, problem-solving skills, or personal-social skills. The data analysis did not yield significant results for the main effects of being from a military or civilian family on communication skills, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, or personal-social skills. The data analysis also did not yield significant results for the interaction effects. The data analysis did yield significant results for the main effect of being from a military or civilian family on problem-solving skills, where children from military families scored significantly lower on measures of problem-solving skills than children from civilian families F(1, 152) = 5.77, p = .017. The research indicated that children from military families are doing as well as their civilian peers on four measures of early childhood development, but military children may need assistance in further developing their problem-solving skills. The results indicate a need for further exploration of early childhood development for children from military families with additional variables of interest. Future research should include variables related to branch of military service for the parent, socioeconomic status, and a more robust and even distribution of groups for comparison.
