What it might look like

Ask someone to bring a familiar meal or fold a basket of laundry. Feeding, medical care, and sleep arrangements should follow each child’s individual care guidance.

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.
