Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Negotiating with the children to alternate attending their functions allows the mother to balance her own self-care needs for managing fibromyalgia symptoms while still being involved in her children's activities. It also teaches the children important lessons about compromise and supporting family members. Asking the children to limit their activities or avoiding attending any functions may create tension and limit the children's experiences, while attempting to attend all functions may be overwhelming for the mother's health.
