Resilience
February 7, 2021 was the 50th anniversary of women getting the vote in Switzerland after a long struggle against chronic intransigence. Over the past year we have been collectively engaged in another kind of struggle: a pandemic that has tested our stamina as parents, as we have had to change and restrict our family lives. Resilience enables us to recover from setbacks, to delve into our inner resources and carry on, no matter what life throws at us. Therefore, dear readers, in this issue you will find resilience-boosting articles and ideas for the long haul. We will get through this, together!
