Ageing Awareness for Kids

Seven beautifully uplifting stories about grandparents and their loved ones ageing and the common illnesses that come with it, positively fostering awareness and consideration for these later stages in life. Each story invites children to understand a specific illness and prepares them for changes in their loved ones' behaviours. The stories not only bring children comfort, but also suggest ways they can assist where possible, so they can feel like they are helping, and to reduce potential feelings of fear regarding any changes to their loved one's speech, memory, appearance, or any other issues that may arise: - Charlie the Centipede Has a Stroke- Francie the Forgetful Frilled Neck Lizard- William Rock Wallaby Gets Parkinson's Disease- Hollis Dingo's Heart Disease and Healthy Diet- Olivia the Opossum has Osteoporosis and Kingston Kangaroo has Arthritis- Terance and Therese Tasmanian Devils Wear Nappies- Grandma Elanor Emu Goes to a Nursing Home
