Alzheimer's

-
I write this that someday my own children will read this and know what this disease is and how it affects our family. My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease about 3 years ago. While at first, her decline seemed rather mild, the past 6-8 months have been a steep downward fall. My father is still caring for her full time at home, but has now found a Memory Care facility to place her at as her needs are more than an 80 year old (or really anyone) man can handle.

Even during the summer months, we struggle to find even one other family at the park with kids, however, the dog park is always packed (side note). I observe kids in various capacities having melt downs about not getting to play the iPad or tablet or melting down when it is taken away. And, granted, tantrums are not new, in 1981 when my mom raised me she didn't have to deal with tantrums about electronics. I also read comments made that my kids view "going outside to play" as a punishment. We walk into swim lessons and every person is on their phone or tablets....even the kids. How will my son learn to interact with other kids when they are on a device? Where has communication face to face gone?  I am not saying I am not guilt...
