137. 5 Easy Strategies To Cope With Challenging Dementia Behaviors


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered how to handle challenging behaviors in your loved one with dementia? 

Today’s episode offers practical strategies to help.

 

The term "challenging behaviors" often refers to normal human behaviors magnified by dementia. Instead of seeing these behaviors as problematic, understand them as expressions of unmet needs or frustrations due to limited communication abilities. 

This perspective shift is crucial for compassionate caregiving.

 

Caregiving is challenging, and you don't have to do it alone. 

Joining support groups, like the Christian Dementia Caregiving Facebook group, can provide community and additional resources.

Consider scheduling a free Dementia Flight Audit to receive personalized advice for your caregiving challenges.



By staying calm, redirecting gently, understanding root causes, communicating clearly, and managing your emotions, you can better handle challenging behaviors. 

Remember, these strategies are about enhancing the caregiving experience for both you and your loved one. 
Your efforts bring moments of joy and create lasting memories, despite the challenges.
