One important self-care tool is the ability to check out from the external world from time to time. This practice helps refresh our mind most especially when things get too busy or stressful. We are aware that too much stress can lead to disease. The ability to manage stress is the way to easeful living.

Naturally, one needs to plan for the future for the sake of the children.
 
If a child has special needs, the parent is advised to plan out the child's transition to adulthood long before the teenage years arrive. To forego this would be to the child’s detriment.
