A book that highlights significant world events over fifty years, this "Joggin' Your Noggin" aims to stimulate fond memories. Reflecting on the past can be a source of joy, not only for those with dementia, but for many others, especially as they approach their "golden years."

Fill-in-the-blank questions provide readers a chance to "jog their noggins," and answers are conveniently provided on the reverse of each page. But the more important benefit is simply to recall the past and arouse "warm and fuzzy" feelings. Connecting an event to a memorable personal experience may evoke positive emotions. The book offers countless opportunities to reflect, reminisce, and hopefully create moments of joy. Seniors may also enjoy large-group discussions of historical milestones and sharing fond memories. Activities professionals in assisted living facilities or nursing homes may find "Joggin" a useful resource when creating trivia and word games for seniors.
Inspiration Behind the Books
The author's mother, Helen, was matriarch of a family of 4 children and their 20 offspring. Her Alzheimer's diagnosis limited word finding and understanding of books and TV. Fortunately, Helen continued to enjoy simple moments like assembling puzzles, reminiscing and playing word games.
