Alzheimer’s disease affects tens of millions of people all around the world and more than six million individuals in the United States. Alzheimer’s disease is incurable, and those affected are often misunderstood and neglected. But there is a way to comprehend them better, and children can become our guides along the way. In What My Grandchildren Taught Me About Alzheimer’s Disease, Dana Olivia Dunn Territo draws parallels between the development of a child and the course of the disease, which resembles its stages in reverse. Dana shares lovely and humorous stories about her grandchildren and their perceptions of complex situations and the world around them. By perceiving children's behavior, we can improve communication with people affected by Alzheimer’s disease and let them be involved in our lives on a deeper level. This is a meaningful read for caregivers, those whose loved ones are affected by Alzheimer’s disease, and readers of non-fiction health books who want to learn more about it.
What My Grandchildren Taught Me About Alzheimer’s Disease is an eye-opening book. Dana Olivia Dunn Territo offers a complete guide to Alzheimer’s disease and tells us what we can do to improve the quality of life for those affected. With great love, Dana reveals that these people are not a burden. The author encourages us to be more compassionate toward them and acknowledge their needs for socialization and deeper connections with their caregivers and loved ones. I like Dana's expressive and often humorous writing style and the amusing stories about her grandchildren opening every chapter. The author rightly points out that modern society does not appreciate the elderly. Misunderstanding leads to a fear of aging. Dana inspires us to pay more attention to our grandparents and other older people in our lives, for they have their unique stories to tell and their profound experiences to share with the younger generation. This compassion will allow us to be kinder to individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and to see human beings behind it. This book gives us many points to ponder, no matter whether we are caregivers or not.
