my gandmother is a child?

It is common to see old people acting like child.Due to their old age,they lose some memory,lose mobility,lose patience,etc..They use to sleep late at night and get up early in the morning.It is because,they think their days are counted and want to live their life at the most.They are no more generous and expect more attention.It is very hard to tackle them.And sure,we too will act the same in our old age.With that in mind,find some time to be with them and make them feel important.

Well sometimes i feel my granny a child and i would say she is most beautiful teenager on earth

well, when people get old, they sometimes act like children. (as what was already said) it's because of loss of memory, mental alertness and patience. and most of the times, our grandparents need to feel important, they need our attention. that is why they like us to listen to them even if what they're saying have been repeated several times. irritating right? but just remember that they were the same grandparents and/or parents who took care of us when they were younger and stronger and we were "weaker?". we just have to understand them, anyway, we will also be old someday... God willing. i hope i was of help to your problem. welcome to mylot! happy mylotting!

It happens because when the people grow old some sort of mind set gets change the only option left is take her to a doctor or take care of her well such that she has to forget herself and mingle with your family members

My first thought after reading your post was, " I have seen a lot of mature adults act like children". lol I see now that is not the true meaning of your question and this discussion. As a people age, it is not at all unusual for them to revert back to earlier life stages. As people age, often it becomes harder for an older person to move around, get out more, and socialize with others. Sometimes, they may be the only surviving person from a group of friends. As such, older people sometimes develop what we used to call "becomming senile" or what is now called dementia. Sometimes, what can occur is that the older person will revert back to an earlier time in their life which they remember. They may talk about childhood friends, forget that a loved one or family member has already passed on, or even seem to "go back" into their childhood. Some will even display behaviors that are characteristic of children. They may talk about people from their past as if they were here in the present. As dementia progresses they may also forget the names and faces of friends and family. All of this, it is very hard on the family emotionally. It's hard to see those we love and care about struggle physically, emotionally, and intellectually. If you have other family members it may help to talk to each other about it. That way you might be able to help one another through this very difficult time. You are right in thinking that you need someone to talk to about your Grandmother. If you are able to find a social worker or a counselor they may be able to give you some suggestions as well. Good luck to you.

My grandmother has the tendency to act like a child but we have learned that it is better to ignore her and let her think we are listening to her then to tell her that we think she is false in what she says. My fiance has seen this himself.
