Parenting comes with a wide range of challenges. Providing safety, giving emotional warmth, tending to your child's psychological and social needs, and caring for their physical well-being, could sometimes overwhelm you. You can get support from 3 parenting hotlines in Switzerland if you are noticing:

Not agreeing with your partner about parenting approaches

It’s perfectly normal to be confused, scared, and frustrated as a parent sometimes. It’s a challenging experience, and everyone copes with it differently. It can be difficult to go through it feeling alone or misunderstood.
