Coloring Books for Seniors   various

Adult coloring books are gaining popularity at an amazing rate. The reasons are simple. Psychologists have likened coloring to meditation. The process allows the mind to focus on a single task, to step away from everyday problems, and to relax. Coloring the patterns in books is a terrific activity for care partners to share; a way to relax together.

According to CNN Health, “Just like meditation, coloring also allows us to switch off our brains from other thoughts and focus only on the moment, helping to alleviate free-floating anxiety. It can be particularly effective for people who aren’t comfortable with more creatively expressive forms of art.” That is just the kind of effect we want when developing therapies for dementia persons.
