Your social worker may be able to recommend picture books for this. It's probably a standard educational outreach thing for kids of a certain age.
I know it's really hard with fibromyalgia, because so much of it is a matter of dealing with your total resources (energy levels, ability to deal with pain, allergen exposure, etc) over time. Delia does not have enough memory and perspective to understand that kind of planning. A lot of adults can't grasp it, because it's so different from the way humans think in other contexts. We expect how we feel to be a function of immediate input, like falling out of a tree. Or a function of recent input, like food poisoning. Or maybe a function of time, like menstrual cramps. But fibro is really confusing.
