One of the hardest things for any son or daughter is to watch his/her parents grow old.
Even if the parents do not suffer from sickness like Alzheimer, the abilities to absorb information become diminished with time.
Here are a few tips that can help.
1)Be patient, kind, and loving.
It is important to be patience, when you talk to your aging parents.
Because their abilities to carry on a conversation may become diminished, sometimes you may have to repeat yourself.
Never speak harshly or remind them that you have already had the same conversation moments before.
If they can not hear you, you should try to speak louder and slower.
Remember, your parents are not trying to irritate you.
2)Do not force your parents to talk.
Believe it or not, you are not the only person that may feel frustrated.
When your parents can not communicate with you, it is hard on them too.
It is important to understand your parent's frustration.
Never force for your parents to if they do not want to.
3) Keep the conversation simple.
If your parents have a hard time understanding you, it is wise to keep the conversation light and simple.
Even if you have to talk to them about complicated issues, you should try to break it down into plain and simple English sentences.
4)Do not ridicule your parents.
Believe it or not, some people may think it is a good idea to make joke to lighten the mood.
The truth is it is not.
You will only make your parents feel ashamed.
