I Love You All the Time

Deborah Farmer Kris

Silver Medal Winner:Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards -Children's Picture (2022)
Reassure children that they are loved and loveable no matter the ups and downs of the day with words of affirmation for kids.

I Love You All the Time speaks to the power of caregivers' steady love to help children develop confidence, resilience, and emotional agility with words of affirmation for kids.

Parents and teachers want strategies for helping preschoolers manage their emotions. But to effectively teach emotional self-regulation strategies, children first need to know they are safe and loved--all the time. Even when they lose their temper, even when they stay up too late, or lose their shoes, or yell at their friend. The steady love of a caregiver can help children thrive, even when life is challenging.

Written from the perspective of a caring adult speaking to a child, I Love You All the Time strengthens relationships by addressing the common childhood fear: Am I loved all the time? Its charming rhyme, words of affirmation for kids, and heartwarming message make the book perfect for storytime, home, the preschool classroom, and whenever children need a reminder that they're loved.

All the Time Series
Written from the perspective of an adult speaking to a child, these rhyming books help young children know that they are deserving of love through life's ups and downs and show them all the ways they're supported as they continue to grow and learn.
