A new learning experience: Developing new ways to communicate with Mom

 

If anything I have been forced to develop new ways to communicate with my mom.

Why?  Because of her hearing challenge.

So now this is how I do it.
I go up to her chair.
I touch her on the arm.
When she responds I either talk directly to her or I point towards the thing that I wish to talk about with her.
She is so very quick to understand.

I have also learned that I need not raise my voice when communicating with her.
I must first lower the television and then speak in an even tone to her.
It is working.
