Taking Away the iPad

One of the hardest parts of caregiving is having to "parent" your own parents. In this episode, we dive into the emotional and practical challenges of managing your loved one's technology use—especially when dementia makes it difficult to draw clear boundaries.

We share our personal experience with mom’s internet habits, how we navigated the decision to take away her iPad, and the impact it had on both her and us as caregivers. Join us as we discuss the delicate balance between maintaining independence and ensuring safety, and how to handle tough decisions with compassion and care.
