[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you serious?  You are recommending Grey Rock as a strategy for someone with dementia and you're proudly bragging about using it as a strategy with your 90+ year old parents?  That's horrible.

I hope that someday your children treat you the way you're treating your parents.  You deserve it.[/quote]

Not the poster you are responding to, but I don't think you get it. It's about being able to maintain a relationship and not set off tantrums. It's highly compatible with what experts say to do with dementia cases where there is extreme anxiety and irritability. You avoid setting them off by sticking to what some consider boring topics, but a person who can only live in the moment might appreciate. Don't talk about deep things. Stick to "beautiful weather. Let me take you outside to see the lovely clouds."  "I like the colors in that wallpaper!"[/quote]

I don't think [u]you[/u] know what the GREY ROCK therapy and actions really are, and what one hopes to achieve in the application.
