I'm Worried About Grandpa: Explaining Dementia to Young Children is a heartfelt children's book about a group of cousins who notice their Grandpa acting differently and become concerned. With the guidance of their mom/aunt, they learn that Grandpa has dementia, a condition that affects his memory. She explains things in a way they can all comprehend. Through a heartfelt conversation, they understand that while Grandpa might forget things, he still loves them and enjoys their company. Determined to bring joy to their Grandpa, the cousins plan a special day to watch a football game with him and share his favorite snacks. Their thoughtful and patient approach helps them create a loving and memorable experience, showing that love and understanding can make a big difference.Inspired by the authors' personal experience with their father, who always responded to the question "How are you?" with a smile and the words "I'm better now," this book is both personal and universally relatable. Supported by research on explaining dementia to young children, I'm Worried About Grandpa: Explaining Dementia to Young Children provides a gentle and reassuring way to discuss this challenging topic with kids aged 3-9. It emphasizes the importance of patience, love, and spending quality time with family members, even when they face difficult health issues.
