Understanding Dementia
Most families don't know how to talk to a child about dementia. Recommended by AlzAuthors, Understanding Dementia takes a modern approach to teaching children the basics of the disease, while also arming them with the tools they need to recognize and share their emotions.
Through a series of activities – journaling, drawing, playing games, and more – your child will walk away from this book with a deeper understanding of what their loved one is going through. They’ll learn helpful tips about what to expect and how to better communicate with their loved one – all to help maintain and cherish the relationship they had before the disease progressed.
This book simplifies and explains a different aspect of dementia – from the early stage to the final stage – and each offers an interactive component that allows your child to learn by doing. As they complete each chapter, they will earn a badge, giving them an added sense of achievement.
