Summary
The parenting experiences of military fathers of young children, ages one to seven, during reintegration were examined. Fathers articulated both motivations to be a better parent, as well as challenges related to reintegrating into family life. For those fathers who also had posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), parenting young children presented unique challenges related to triggering symptoms.
