What it might look like

One child might choose a story while another chooses a short walk with a caregiver. Rotate opportunities without making affection a competition.

Make the plan your own

Choose one idea and ask the people involved what support they need. Notice whether it makes the day more manageable, then keep, change, or drop it. You do not have to complete every suggestion. Different ages, abilities, cultures, and family arrangements may call for different choices.
