Supporting children in expressing feelings about meaningful people who come in and out of their lives.
Written by two early childhood mental health professionals, I Remember You helps young children address complex emotions about people they may not be able to spend time with.

By identifying a variety of feelings they may have over the course of an important relationship, I Remember
You helps children feel less alone. It invites the grown-ups present in their lives to help them consider these losses, identify and validate feelings, and find ways to process emotions.
