I was casually browsing the book shelf under ‘self
development’ shelf. I came across a book titled, “Adjusting to aging mind”.
I flipped through and was aghast. The book is written for
aging people! I thought it should have been written for the young people who
actually find it tough to adjust to minds of the aged people in their home.
What do you say?
You cannot keep harassing elders to adjust to the whims and fashions
of the younger generation. Haven’t they been doing exactly that all these
years? Now, it is the responsibility of their growing children to adjust to
their parents and other elders in their family.
"Your memory may
be less efficient," Park says, "but your knowledge about how to do it
may be better” says Dr. Denise C. Park, director of the Roybal Center for
Healthy Minds at the University of Illinois.
Youth are annoyed that the elders cannot remember important daily
tasks to be carried in their absence.
That book I glanced motivated me to write a book meant for
young people teaching them how to adjust t the aging minds.
