Module 4 Lesson 1. Eating and drinking - more pleasant mealtimes Let’s look at an example Siya was a housewife and cooked every day for her family for many years. Recently, she lost her husband and now lives with one of her sons. Adi, her daughter-in-law, provides all the cooking in the new household. Siya has been very sad in her new home and says she’s not hungry when she is offered food. She does not join the family for dinner. 1. Check your understandingMaking mealtimes more pleasant.

This is a good response because her family knows Siya still enjoys cooking and should therefore support her to continue engaging in the activities that she likes and is still able to do. Demand that Siya joins them for dinner. This is not such a good response because it may make Siya angry or cause her to further withdraw. Bring Siya dinner in her room.
