The word behavior in dementia care or even healthcare has gotten a bad rap. We tend to only think of the negative and not the positive. I use actions and reactions, since many “behaviors” are just reactions to our actions. If we get upset at our computer or we’re cranky at 4pm or maybe frustrated at a co-worker for not finishing their side of your project; no one says, “Geez Pam sure has some behaviors today.” We are reacting normal for the situation that we are in.
