When my boys were very young, someone gave our family an inside swing. Both my boys loved it. It was great for rainy and snowy days when the kids couldn’t go outside to play. We used this item for years.

Practical Tip #31-Everyone Can Help
Lately, I have been asked by friends and family, “What can I do to help you?”
I will share one tip that almost every special needs family needs. I would even go out on a limb and say all special needs families need–prayer. Specifically prayers for sleep. Prayers that all the children in the home sleep through a full eight to ten hours. Prayers that the parents sleep through the night. Life is so much easier when we are all getting the correct amount of sleep. I know many families spend years with interrupted sleep patterns.
I know it may sound too simple, but believe me, it truly is a blessing.
