No matter how colorful we put in the idea of aging, we can’t change the fact that they, somehow, need more attention and more time than we do in taking care of the children. For those who have are not accustomed to their “dynamic” nature, taking care of the seniors can be troublesome – a job that requires tremendous amount of understanding and patience.

This becomes more relative to you if you have seniors in your family. You need to give them proper care – as a way of expressing your gratitude of taking care of you back when you were younger, or if not, let it be the way to show your sense of humanity. If these ideas ring a bell, then remember these things, for it can prepare you from what you’d encounter once you start taking care of them….

1. They can be very childish. Most seniors who will be needing your full attention are in the stage of second childhood, which means that they start to act like they are children again. They ask you simple and silly things and will ask you the same thing over and over again.

2. They can no longer do certain things on their own. With this, your full assistance is needed. One of the best example of this is their peeing. There are those who have such difficulty moving their body, so, without such capability, they ave no choice but to pee on their pants. When this happens, you’d know what to do.
