    <title>topic Do’s and Don’ts for Caregivers at the Holiday Dinner Table - #2 in Leave a Caregiving Tip</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;Do say: “I would really appreciate it if you could help take care of Mom during dinner.”&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Such&amp;nbsp;“I” statements tend to be heard by others more neutrally. A more defined and limited request is more likely to be met with cooperation. Who would dare say no when they see the caregiver slaving away in the kitchen?&lt;/P&gt;
