Pick your moment: send it during a calm window (morning/early evening).

Make it specific: “One thing I can do this week?” (school run, form, call, pick-up).

Do it and close the loop: complete the task, then send a short done + when update.

Message one person now: “One thing I can do for you this week?”

Turning care into one clear action reduces load and builds trust. Reliability over time deepens closeness.

“They’ll ask too much.” → Frame it as one thing, this week.
“I might forget.” → Add a calendar reminder when they reply.
“I can’t do it this week.” → Offer a smaller alternative or a firm next date.

Don’t over-promise; choose tasks you can finish. Share limits kindly (“I can do X by Friday, not Y”). Rotate who you ask so it’s balanced.
