One small step each day. Plan care, household tasks and rest together.
Adapt this plan to your needs. You do not need a task for every day. At the end of the week, discuss what felt easier and where more support would help.
Prepare your questions, current medicines and important documents before an appointment. Discuss follow-up with your care team. Keeping a note of their answers can help you remember where to begin at the next visit.
List daily tasks together. Share not only cooking, shopping and household chores but also the responsibility of remembering them. Arrange visits so that there is still time for rest.
Look at picture books, sing and follow your child’s curiosity. Choose age-appropriate toys without small parts and stay nearby during play. Let your child’s interest guide how long an activity lasts.
Make room for your feelings and talk with someone you trust. Include a small opportunity to rest for yourself in the daily plan. Ask a health professional about concerns that persist.
