Why respite care for children is good for families

It can be hard to take a break from caring for your child . But we all know that it ’ s good for you , your family and your child .

Caring can be stressful and emotionally and physically tiring . Taking a break gives you the chance to recharge and look after yourself or spend quality time with others .

Respite care is also a break for your child . Your child can have a change from her usual routine and do something different . This helps children to develop new skills , meet new friends and build some independence .
