In addition to the physical symptoms, an illness always brings a number of questions along. Not only concerned relatives want clarity quickly, but also the sick children usually not only worry about their own condition but also about their parents and siblings. Above all, they react sensitively to changed behaviour in the family. The question "Why is everyone so different and worried?" is often left unanswered.
For parents, the family, professional and economic burdens can very quickly gain the upper hand, because loving care requires time. In addition, they feel anxious about their child and would like to be with him/her day and night.
