Publisher's summary
The dementia journey can be frightening, confusing, and frustrating. It may also be emotional, full of affection, and sprinkled with humor. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and types of dementia is a place to start. A crucial diagnostic tool is recognizing and distinguishing dementia's various forms from other conditions.
I still believe there is a lot left, even if there is a lot lost at each stage of dementia. When you see the reason for a behavior, it ceases to be a problem and instead becomes an opportunity for a deeper connection. Did you know that some professionals think that most actions stem from unfulfilled needs? We can better address the needs of those we love by comprehending this fundamental principle and then applying that understanding to reframe the illness and its effects.
The strategies you'll learn in this guide will help you get through difficult times and direct you toward happier times. This method of behavior control was created over time while working with dementia patients. You can find a system for just about any emerging behavior in these minutes! It will take a direct, accessible approach to elucidate why specific behaviors occur and what may be done to address them.
This book will help you acknowledge and overcome interpersonal barriers preventing you from assisting your patient. Or, if you're recently diagnosed with dementia, your caregiver will agree from the start, and you'll be able to acquire the help you require reasonably quickly. Some caregivers may experience power conflicts or denial and need to find a middle ground to build a shared understanding.
This book is also written so you can identify a "problem" behavior and find a solution quickly. I urge you to begin at the beginning to gain a more comprehensive grasp of why the behavior began. After you comprehend the system in its context, there will be fewer emergent behaviors overall.
This book is written so you can identify a "problem" behavior and find a solution quickly. However, I urge you to begin at the beginning to gain a more comprehensive grasp of why the behavior began. After you comprehend the system in its context, there will be fewer emergent behaviors overall. Let's get started.

Whether your child has only been recently diagnosed with ADHD or you’ve been living with their condition for quite a while, it’s normal for parents to feel worried, overwhelmed, and exhausted most of the time. However, keep in mind that ADHD is a condition, not a life sentence. It’s entirely possible for your young one to succeed because of their condition–not despite it. The key is learning how to address your child’s condition properly and consistently at the soonest time possible–the earlier you manage it, the higher their chances of success and happiness.
