TIP: Remind yourself that you are not caring for a child, but rather, cultivating a new relationship. Though this may be uncharted territory, you are not alone. Others are also going through this process, and there is support for you in our community.

�� TIP: When you feel your ‘buttons are being pushed,’ try excusing yourself, walk away, and take a few moments for yourself. Recognize that while you can’t change the other person, you can change your own reaction.

�� TIP: If they are able and willing, give family members ‘a job’ while they’re in town, from household shopping or repairs to taking your senior parent out for an activity. If not, try to focus on the positive

reasons for their visit and make a conscious choice to join in the fun as time allows.

�� TIP: Instead of insisting on a solution, offer options to consider, “agree to disagree” or to talk about it again at a set time, then move on to something you can enjoy doing together.

Por Cynthia McNulty, LCSW, La Agencia de Servicios para la Familia

��

SUGERENCIA: Si son capaces y dispuestos, ofréceles “un trabajo” a los familiares, mientras que están en la ciudad, desde las compras o reparaciones del hogar hasta llevar a tu padre/madre mayor para hacer una actividad fuera del hogar. Si no, trata de concentrarte en las razones positivas de su visita y haz una decisión consciente para unirte a la diversión cuando el tiempo lo permita.

�� Make time for a favorite shared activity during the holidays �� TIP: Ask their advice about something you �� are dealing with in your life. Helping them �� feel empowered and important will help both of you. �� SUGERENCIA: Recuerda que tú no estás cuidando �� a un niño, sino más bien, estás cultivando una �� nueva relación. Aunque esto puede ser un territorio �� desconocido, tú no estás solo. Otros también están �� pasando por este proceso, y hay apoyo para ti en �� nuestra comunidad. �� TIP: Let a friend help by listening, or offering a shoulder to lean on. Simply talking with a caring friend about what you’re going through can bring relief and re-energize you. Family Service Agency can also help. Their free counseling programs and referrals to communitybased organizations support caregivers, families, and seniors. For more info visit www.fsacares.org

��

SUGERENCIA: Cuando sientas que te están ‘sacando de tus casillas,’ intenta disculparte, aléjate, y tómate unos momentos para ti mismo. Reconoce que aunque no se puede cambiar a la otra persona, tú puedes cambiar tú propia reacción.

��

�� SUGERENCIA: En lugar de insistir en una solución, ofrece opciones para considerar, “convengamos en no estar de acuerdo” o hablar de ello de nuevo en un tiempo establecido, después sigan con algo que ambos puedan disfrutar juntos.

�� SUGERENCIA: Pídeles consejos sobre algo que está pasando en tú vida. Ayúdales a que se sientan empoderados e importantes ayudará a ambos.

�� SUGERENCIA: Deja que un amigo te ayude al escuchar, u ofrecer un hombro para que te apoyes. Simplemente hablando con un buen amigo acerca de lo que está pasando puede traer alivio y revitalizar. La Agencia de Servicios para la Familia también puede ayudar. Sus programas de asesoramiento gratuitos y referencias a las organizaciones de base comunitarias brindan apoyo a los cuidadores, las familias y las personas mayores.
