dc.description.abstractMothers caring for children with food allergies face additional stress, anxiety, and parental responsibility for a child at constant risk of allergic exposure. The present study examined how maternal anxiety and protective parenting relate to mothers? supportive and nonsupportive responses to their children'semotions. Observational and self-report data were collected from 132 mother-child dyads, including 65 children with diagnosed food allergies and 67 healthy children, ages 3 to 6 years old. Protective parenting, state anxiety, and trait anxiety predicted differences in how mothers of children with food allergies responded to their children'semotions. In particular, mothers in the food allergy group were less likely to issue supportive responses and more likely to issue nonsupportive responses to children'spositive and internalizing affect than mothers of healthy children. This is the first study to demonstrate that parents may respond differently to medically vulnerable children'semotions.
