St Helens Home Instead

07/09/2025

When a grandparent is living with dementia, it can be confusing and emotional for younger family members. But with the right support, children can still enjoy meaningful moments with the people they love.

Here are a few simple ways to help:
👂 Use honest, age appropriate language
🖼 Focus on shared activities like looking at photos or reading together
😊 Reassure them it’s the condition that’s changing – not the person they love
🎶 Celebrate the little moments of joy, a smile, a song, a hug

Talking openly helps children stay connected and builds empathy for life.
