    Have them start writing things down

    Play a simple card game.Read aloud either from a magazine your parent likes, or a chapter of a book. If he or she wants to discuss something as you read, stop to do so.Try and jog their memory by looking at a photo album together of your parent / family at a younger stage. Leave notes around the house with little reminders.

    Have them checked by their doctor. Address your concerns with the doctor.
