If you care for a parent who asks the same question twenty times a day, you know the loop: you answer calmly, they forget, you answer again. Before long your patience frays, guilt sets in, and you wonder if you are doing something wrong. This book is for you. It explains why repetitive questioning happens — from short-term memory loss to anxiety rooted in dementia or cognitive decline — and gives you a clear, compassionate framework for responding. You will learn when to validate, when to redirect, when to use visual reminders, and when to walk away without guilt. Each chapter is grounded in practical strategies that respect your parent's dignity while protecting your own mental health. Whether the repetitions last weeks or years, you will find specific tools to reduce frustration, preserve your bond, and bring a little calm to your day. Part of The Caring for a Parent Library.
