Guest guest Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Hi - Very well put. This took me to many memories with my dad. I always included him in what was " going to happen " . I felt it very necessary. Also, my dad was more agreeable during cares if first told what was going to be done. Your insight in this is amazing. Great job- Sandie Des Moines, IA dad, Merle, passed from LBD 9-20-02, age 65 -- Re: Hi-I am new to group Have you ever observed the male caregiver with your dad? It may be something about his mannerism or what he says or the approach he takes with your dad. If a caregiver does not seek permission or act in a " cooperative " way, giving the LO some say in the matter, it may be your father's way of maintaining control over the process and his dignity. He is clearly responding to something he perceives as not right. Also, sometimes it takes a while for the two to develop a " trust " and way of doing things that is acceptable to both.
