Time is scarce when caring for kids with special needs. Self-care gives moms the energy and headspace to handle the challenges they face on a daily basis.
Most often moms put their needs last, behind the needs of their kids. It’s easy for their needs to get pushed back, especially when all their strength is needed for advocating for their kids, for patience and sometimes just for holding back tears in tough situations.
Here are some activities for special needs moms in Plano, TX:
Try Acupuncture
The old methods advocated by Chinese medicine has emerged in modern American culture, for the better. It’s one source of regular treatment that reduces stress and heals body ailments. Our favorite local place is Modern Acupuncture in Plano, which we reviewed this year. Going once a week or every two weeks can really improve your sense of wellbeing.
Book a Hair Appointment

Get a Manicure
A mani or pedi could help you feel like a million dollars! If you have childcare available, check out the best Nail Salons in the area and choose one close to you. No childcare? We have great news! You can have a nail tech come to your home while the kids sleep or play by themselves. We love Cherry App. Download the app and book your appointment in just a few taps!
