Lifebook pages
A Lifebook is a kind of scrapbook that helps a child find order and purpose in his/her life. Many of our children don't have pictures of themselves from earlier periods in their lives. Many of them have had so many moves that they forget where they've been. We all must have roots before we can grow wings. Lifebooks help children in care understand and know what those roots are.
This page is designed to help you with your children's lifebooks. From time to time I will post pages that you can print or edit and print. Please feel free to email if you have pages that you would like to see available to other parents.
Getting Started Tip
If you have a child that does not have a Lifebook or has one that has not been maintained...start working from the present and work backward and forward. If you try to "start from the very beginning" you may get overwhelmed and quit. Make a page about today or something that happened recently for which you have pictures.
