It can be very easy to slip into a mind set that a person with dementia can no longer do things.

There is no prescribed way or time limit for peeling a potato. It is okay to swear and curse. it can be good for the soul – in moderation. And its good for the mind and soul to keep on doing things. We don’t stop walking just because we cant do it as fast as when we were 20!
