Communicating with Elderly Parents: How to Preserve Love and Patience

Our parents grow old. They become touchy, intolerant, sharp-tongued, messy. We try to help, but all we get are new demands. We get irritated and angry. And then we blame ourselves for not holding back. Nina Zvereva, a TV journalist and popular business trainer, the author of books about communication, believes you can learn how to communicate with elderly parents so that you don’t get annoyed—and don’t annoy them. You just need to accept their aging as a new reality and master a few simple communication techniques that will help in any situation. In this audiobook there are many stories and practical examples drawn from Nina Zvereva’s personal experience communicating with elderly—and very elderly—relatives. Advice on what you can and should do, and what you absolutely should not. We really want communication with elderly parents to bring joy both to you and to them—always.
