💨 Abstract

The article discusses the challenges faced by parents, particularly mothers, when their children start nursery and frequently fall ill. The author shares her personal experience of having to leave work frequently due to her son's illnesses, highlighting the emotional and physical toll it took. Research from University College London indicates that a healthy child starting nursery at one year old can expect around 18 illnesses in their first year, significantly impacting working parents.
