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.

MY TIDBITS
Full of love, heart and caring, this is a book to snuggle up with and enjoy.
This is one for kids to be read with those, who love them. It shows various situations...many which don't run very well...and how the kids are still loved. Each one shows that even if kids accidentally do something wrong or misjudge something or make a mess (never with ill intentions) that they are still loved.
The illustrations are bright and bold, and let each scene come across with humor, love, and emotion. Listeners will connect with the events and recognize a few from their own lives. There are enough details to keep readers coming back on their own to explore, as well.
The text flows very smoothly and harmonizes with the illustrations. It encourages and is right for the age group. It makes a great read-aloud and holds the atmosphere fitting to the rest of the book.
At the end, there are notes for caretakers/parents/guardians on dealing with children and under these types of instances. So, this is a book as much for adults as it is for kids. I, personally, just enjoyed the picture book and the love it beams.
Learn about the author!I spent 23 years in schools in nearly every
capacity: elementary teacher, middle school teacher, high school teacher,
administrator, and in-house parent educator. I love the energy of being around
kids of all ages. It also helps me with my other career: education journalism and
parent education. I am a parenting columnist PBS KIDS and write about child
development for MindShift (an NPR education blog) and other national
publications. And I recently founded www.parenthood365.com to share simple
practical wisdo with parents.
Here’s what I want parents to know about the
whole “All the Time” series. Just as Daniel Tiger is really a parenting show
dressed up as kids’ programming (that’s my take, at least!), my books are aimed
as much at caregivers as they are at young children.
As an education journalist, it’s my job to
read all those new-release parenting books – but most parents just don’t have
time for that! So I took a bunch of my research on resilience, emotional
literacy, curiosity, and healthy development and turned them into four
read-aloud books for the Pre-K set: “I Love You All the Time” and “You Have
Feelings All The Time” (February 2022) “You Wonder All The Time” (July 2022)
and “You Are Growing All the Time” (Fall 2022)
As parents read these to their young children,
I hope it will offer them with some simple ways to support their children’s
emotional and cognitive development.
I wanted to be a geologist, anthropologist,
social worker, bookstore owner, journalist, and teacher. And I became the last
two!

So crucial for kids to know they are loved, and we all make mistakes. Books like this help.
