As you try to navigate the emotional minefields of caregiving, be aware that some head-butting is inevitable. The shift in roles—from the parent providing care for the child to the parent needing help from the child—is understandably frustrating for many older adults. Be patient. Minimize frustrations as much as possible by keeping your aging loved ones involved in the decisions that affect their lives. Always allow and encourage them to do what they can for themselves.

In Chapter 5, we’ll look at the importance of helping your parents maintain their independence—for their own sake and yours—as well as some simple steps and devices that will help them do more for themselves and relieve some of the burden from you.
