It is not easy for working parents to meet the demands of their job and at the same time meet the needs of their family. This raises many questions: How can we reconcile work and childcare? How can we find the right balance between work and family? Where can we look for support so that the constant stress doesn't make us ill?

It is above all the many small, often invisible tasks in the organization of everyday life that can lead to stress and excessive demands. When was the parents' evening at elementary school again? The laundry still needs to be done. And who will pick up the children from soccer tomorrow?
