2 Memory Corner An Intergenerational Approach to Dementia By Ava M. Stinnett It can be a joy to interact with young children, whether they re family members like grandchildren or nieces and nephews or they re your friends children. Little ones can be a source for giving and receiving unconditional love, providing entertainment, and sharing delightful conversations. An added benefit, according to several research studies, is that spending time with youngsters may delay the onset of dementia and related diseases such as Alzheimer s; it may also slow the progression of symptoms for individuals who ve already been diagnosed. We know that there is a strong correlation between social interaction and health and wellbeing among older adults. The National Institute on Aging, for example, notes that watching grandchildren helps seniors be more healthy and active. For individuals with Alzheimer s, a chance to interact with a child can give them a sense of purpose; feeling useful to a child can also be a boost to a senior who feels depressed, lonely, or bored. Further, studies show that regular socialization stabilizes cognitive decline and improves mood in folks with dementia. Here are some easy activities to try with young children: Jigsaw puzzles with large pieces and floor puzzles that can be done on a card table Age-appropriate board games, such as Candy Land and Chutes and Ladders; card games, such as Go Fish, or Old Maid ; and old favorites like dominoes or tic-tac-toe Reading books to each other from time-honored authors, such as Dr. Seuss, Eric Carle, Beatrix Potter, Maurice Sendak, Margaret Wise Brown, and Robert McCloskey Collecting colorful leaves, stones, flowers, and other treasures during a nature walk or taking a trip to a local zoo or farmer s market Household chores, such as folding towels; cutting coupons; or organizing buttons, coins, stamps, or non-hazardous nails, screws, and other hardware by size, shape, or color Sorting recipes and finding pictures to illustrate them, then making a grocery list of needed items Regardless of the activity, making genuine connections with the people around them is critical to our loved ones physical and psychological health. Giving and receiving emotional support and care may help seniors maintain their independence and adjust to their changing needs. Sources Bursack, C.B. (n.d.)
