There are various Care Plan templates available but as every case is so individual you will probably want to adapt one for your particular case (so maybe deleting the parts about medication but including parts about risks and recording information etc. Sitting together to write this Care Plan would be a good opportunity for the parents to tell you more about it (although they might not know much themselves yet, of course).
