Dignity of Risk

Are you worried about your elderley parent when they go outside to hang out the washing?  Do you worry that they might fall if they walk about the yard without their walker or stick? 

Remember that retaining some level of independence is important to your aged parent.  Please allow them the "dignity of risk".  This simply means that they have the right to take risks.
