Being a parent brings rewarding and demanding sides, often at the same time. High strain doesn't mean the bond with your child is missing – but it is a serious signal, especially if it lasts. Ongoing high parental stress leaves less capacity for patience and presence; relief helps both sides. This workbook makes what's weighing on you visible and plans concrete relief over four weeks.
