Dr. Teten Kanter earned her Ph.D. in Gerontology at the University of Nebraska Omaha and her research led her to write, Positive Caregiving an alternative, affirming perspective to the overwhelmingly negative story surrounding caring for an older adult.
In this delightful conversation we discuss her book which offers the combined principles of positive psychology, mindfulness, reminiscence therapy, and lifestyle medicine.
The simple activity ideas within are designed to immerse caregivers in gratitude, empathy, forgiveness, love, and awe. Positive Caregiving encourages us to make the most of the caregiving experience.
Positive Caregiving focuses on the emotional journey and personal growth inherent in the caregiving experience, helping caregivers embrace, celebrate, and honor this critical role in modern society.
