You are struggling with knowing when you need to step in and help and when you need to leave well enough alone.  When we care for our loved one we want our help to be received with a "thank you so much, I don't know what I would do without you!" and not "mind you own business, I can take care of myself". Knowing where this line is can be very tricky to navigate successfully and has lead to many family conflicts.   In part 2 of caregiver school you will learn how to assess your loved ones abilities and disabilities so that you will have a clearer understanding of when and how you might step in and help. Lesson 1 Understanding Normal Aging In this lesson you'll learn about how normal aging affects our loved ones ability to function independently and the difference between disability as a result of normal aging and that caused by the more serious disease process of dementia.
