Local author and business owner Ali Davidson presents “Partnering Not Parenting Your Aging Parents,” on Tuesday, November 15, 2011 at the Redmond Public Library. Her presentation begins at 6:30 pm and is part of the Know Family series being offered throughout the month of November at the library. The program is free and open to the public.

Davidson is the author of “It's Between You and Me,” a life manual designed to help adult children and their parents create a plan for their elder years. The former owner of a successful in-home care company (Home Instead), Davidson directs adult children to work with their parents to develop a game plan to maximize a senior’s independence and choice in a time of diminishing personal freedom. A gifted counselor, dynamic speaker and talented senior coach, Davidson is able to engage any audience on topics related to aging with dignity and freedom. She has just launched a foundation called Age Wide Open that provides adult children and seniors, life enhancing education, support and services.
