Why does she always forget my name?&#8221; These are some of the questions your children may ask you when they feel lost in the face of their grandparents&#8217; behavioral and mood changes.

What worries them?<\/pee>\n<pee>This will make it easier to explain the key elements they need to understand:<\/pee>\n<pee>&#8211; This disease is not contagious.<\/pee>\n<pee>&#8211; This disease causes difficulties in daily life in remembering events, names, their way, etc. Feel free to explain these symptoms based on specific events the child has experienced with their grandparents.<\/pee>\n<pee>&#8211; One must be patient and realize that it is not easy for a sick person to realize they are forgetting things&#8230; and even more so that, unfortunately, it cannot be cured yet. And even though their abilities deteriorate, they will always remain your grandmother or grandfather!<\/pee>\n<pee>Finally, your children are very clever and creative; they may even suggest new forms of communication adapted with their own parents. Our memory games and brain training are often used in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lesmaisonsderetraite.fr\/\">retirement homes<\/a> in the Alzheimer&#8217;s unit, and caregivers have realized that it is a wonderful tool for families to continue having an activity together, and it is often magical to have grandparents play with their grandchildren on a tablet.<\/pee>\n<pee>Don&#8217;t hesitate, the hardest part is starting the conversation!<\/pee>\n<pee>&nbsp;<\/pee>\n<pee>Feel free to contact us to discuss it, or reach out to other caregivers, on the social network <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/expliquer-alzheimer\/\">www.e-aidants.com<\/a>.<\/pee>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"dynseo-section\">\n<h2 id=\"section-3\">Playful applications to train memory<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"section-divider\">\u25c6 \u25c6 \u25c6<\/div>\n<section class=\"dynseo-section\">\n<h2 id=\"section-4\">Children&#8217;s emotions in the face of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease<\/h2>\n<pee>It is normal for children to feel a range of emotions in response to their grandparents&#8217; Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. Here are some common emotions and how to address them:<\/pee>\n<ul class=\"styled-list\">\n<li><strong>Confusion:<\/strong> Children may not understand why their grandparents are changing. It is essential to explain to them that it is due to an illness affecting their memory.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sadness:<\/strong> They may feel sad seeing their loved ones change. Encourage them to share their feelings and talk about their happy memories.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fear:<\/strong> Some children may fear losing their grandparents.
