When My Grammy Forgets, I Remember: A Child's Perspective on Dementia

By Toby Haberkorn

When My Grammy Forgets, I Remember: A Child's Perspective on Dementia is a resource for how to explain dementia and/or Alzheimer's in an age appropriate way. It provides conversational openings and stimulates discussion between parents and children about compassion and this debilitating disease. Alzheimer's and other dementia conditions not only affect the person suffering from the disease, but the entire family, especially the children. This story explores the difficult reality of dementia and the bittersweet changing relationship between a granddaughter and her grandmother. By including children in the family discussion, parents help them become resilient and empower them to provide comfort for the grandparents or loved ones with Alzheimer's.
