Abstract
When families are exposed to traumatic natural disasters, parenting behaviors may change as parents manage stressors in the disaster recovery environment. This study examined parents’ perceptions of their parenting behaviors over 18-months among families who experienced a tornado and other families from the same communities assessed prior to the tornado.
