Communicating Alzheimer's to Younger Generations
Discussing a family member's Alzheimer's diagnosis with younger children can be challenging. It is essential to clarify that the memory issues are due to a medical condition rather than a lack of love or care. When children encounter an adult who struggles with memory, they may feel scared or confused by the change in behavior. Parents should provide simple explanations and reassure children that the affected individual might not remember them but still cares.
