Final Thoughts
Take Some Time for You
It is important to take time for yourself to stay healthy and ready to help your family. Go for walks with your family and talk about your day. Ask your child to describe what they are seeing on your journey. The walk will help you stay physically fit and the time spent with your family will help you feel more connected to them.
