Help for everyday life
Ten topics that come up again and again in counseling conversations — with concrete steps for your situation. All content is free.
Some questions arise in almost every family: why won’t my child sleep? Why do they eat only five things? How do I explain it at daycare? And what about the sibling?
The following pages give a first, concrete answer to each of these questions. If you would like to go deeper, the free Mika Guide has a detailed module on every topic. It downloads about 3,7 MB once and then works offline.
