Are there parallel practices we can do with our children where we're both getting to experience a more low demand experience?

For example, for me and my kids, Grey's Anatomy is a special interest show.

And so especially when I'm in low energy seasons, that's a way that we connect and it's restorative for both of us.

A lot of it can also be around family.

managing just family expectations.

And I think a lot of people are already doing this, but like deconstructed meals, which is a really fancy way of saying basically snack trays.

Like, can we do deconstructed meals versus complex meals?

And again, most families are probably already doing pretty clever things around food.

But are there ways as a family, not just for the kids to build a more lower demand, less friction lifestyle?

Are there expectations the parents holding that perhaps they can work on releasing?

And especially with that autistic mindset.

It's really easy to fall into, well, this is what good parenting looks like.

So I've got to do this, this, and this.

That would be one thing to address.

Another practice I have, and I don't know why it just works for my brain, but I'll say, how can I make this moment 2% better or 2% more restful?

So for me, it might be like, I've got, so look, I can add, but I just happen to have it.

I've got the Sensate, which is a vagal nerve stimulator.

I like this one, but there's a lot on the market and I'll maybe put this over me and a weighted blanket and a stim song.

And maybe I'll do that while I'm either spending time with children or if I'm working, I'll do that.

I'll lay rest on top of demands that I'm already doing to make the moment 2% better.
