When family caregivers disagree on dementia care approaches

My mom and I are her primary caregivers for my grandmother with dementia and we keep getting into fights about how to handle her episodes — my mom wants to redirect and distract while I think we should acknowledge what she's actually feeling, but our different approaches are confusing grandma and making everything harder.
