Author E. Jane Wyatt has released her second book in the Caregiver 10 Minute Guides series, titled Communicating with Love: Creating Joyful Conversations with Memory and Elder Care Residents. It is a practical guide teaching techniques enhancing conversations with Alzheimers or other forms of dementia individuals.
The book provides simple steps to turn a frustrating experience into a fulfilling visit. From how to deal with those nerve-wracking repetitive questions to therapeutic fibbing, readers will learn to listen with their hearts, laugh together, and discover how to stay connected to a memory-impaired loved one.
It is hard to visit someone who doesnt remember the visitor, themselves, or anything in the past. Visits can leave the visitors feeling guilty and reluctant to visit again.
But it doesnt have to be that way! This book will teach how to create joyful conversations with the memory impaired that will not only brighten their day, but inspire the visitor to visit more often and with greater satisfaction for both.
Jane is also the author and editor of the Internet Resource Guide for Dementia Caregivers. This is a free downloadable digest of vetted websites, podcasts, blogs, and virtual support groups providing information at no charge. Monthly updates are issued when new noteworthy resources are discovered. The download is available at www.Caregiver10MinuteGuides.com.
