Health & Parents

Puberty is an exciting time that can sometimes feel like a challenge for both your child and you as a parent.

At the same time, it is just as important to look after your own health. After all, you can only provide your child with the best possible support if you are feeling well.Just as you make it possible for your child, you should also ensure a healthy diet and regular exercise and avoid stress as much as possible. You may be thinking: "Easier said than done!" That's why we've put together some helpful information for you here to help you not forget about yourself and your health.The following articles show you how to integrate health and exercise into family time together, how to use the famous "me-time" to recharge your batteries and how not to lose heart even in crisis situations, such as illness or conflict.

Children's rights

It is the responsibility of parents to treat their child with respect and appreciation. In order for your child to grow up well, it needs love, security, support and opportunities for co-determination. At the same time, it is important for parents that these values are also practised in their partnership.

Family & Partnership

It is the parents' responsibility to create a family environment in which their child can experience respect and appreciation, love and security as well as support and co-determination. Why do we need children's rights? And what do they mean for parenting? You may have already thought about this when you heard about the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. But what rights do children actually have? In short, you could say that they describe everything that children need to grow up well and healthy. Read here to find out what these rights are in detail and what they mean in education. By the way, "children" in the Convention on the Rights of the Child refers to all people under the age of 18, including young people.As parents, you play a central role in your child's development and are therefore also responsible for doing everything you can to help your child grow up happily.

Career & Family

Is your child becoming more and more independent and are you thinking about returning to work? You can find out how to successfully return to work after a longer family phase and how to organize it in the best possible way on the Familienportal.NRW. There you will find a wealth of information and local networks to help you get back to work. Family commitments, bringing up children, running the household and a career? Balancing all these demands can be challenging. Too much stress in everyday life can make you ill in the long term. When you've reached your limits, the only thing that helps is time out to recharge your batteries. You have various options when it comes to cures. On the one hand, you can strengthen your health on your own - without taking your children with you. However, there is also the option of mother-child cures or father-child cures, where you can take your son or daughter with you. You can find detailed information on cures where you can recharge your batteries and help with the application process below.
