Caregivers often ask me for ways to manage crying behaviors. These crying behaviors can happen multiple times a day for a short time, or once a day but for hours. Learn what may be causing those behaviors and how to respond in a loving way.

Learn my formula for developing and tweaking strategies when faced with dementia behaviors: neurodegeneration plus personality plus values plus cohort. Sounds complicated, but it is not. When you know how a particular type of dementia is affecting behavior, you can select a strategy and then personalize it by knowing your family member's personality, value system, and time period when they were born.

Pre-dementia family relationships can make caregiving even more challenging. In this episode, I discuss different ways family dynamics cause dementia caregiving to be even more stressful and some approaches to dealing with these dynamics. Whether you are dealing with a super-critical parent who complains nonstop, non-caregiving family members who criticize your care, or sibling fighting that just never seems to stop, this episode may help.
