5. Working parents are likely to have more complex
issues to give them stress
 Are the children at school and how are they behaving?
 What friends are they making and where are they spending their
time?
 What else do I need to do as a parent and partner?
 Am I looking after my own health and well-being?
 Do I balance my time between my work, life, children and partner?
