[quote=Anonymous]I took my kids to see MIL with dementia regularly from a young age. I second bringing crayons, books and a tablet. MIL didn't always understand (and the tablet was new every visit) but she liked looking at the videos the kids were interested in and listening to her favorite songs. She also loved drawing with them. Also, I'd say plan for short visits, the first time stay only a half hour to an hour. My MIL got tired but couldn't always articulate that she was ready for us to leave. Best times were just after breakfast (9 or 10 am) or 4ish. She usually napped after lunch.[/quote]
