Practicing self-care doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming, it just has to be enjoyable and uplifting! Consider small actions like a dessert night with a friend at home or out or with another family, or tabletop board game hour.
Plan the dinner menu for the week as a family or discuss what jobs need to be completed and assign volunteers to take a job. There can even be ways to build connections through sibling teams who work together on a task. Be sure to stick to it because the self-care possibilities are endless and so are the rewards!
