"My Memory Book 0-4" is designed to record the experiences, approximately from birth to age 4, of a child separated from their birth family. It will also: help them understand the reasons for their separation and to make sense of what has happened; preserve the memories of this important stage of their lives; help carers and professionals record the minutia and anecdotal aspects of development; offer explanations and information; assist the child in the formation and promotion of their 'identity'. Guidance for professionals and carers on use of this book and those for older children - "My Memory Book 4+" and "My Memory Book 8+" - is provided on removable pages and in more depth in "The New Life Work Model Practice Guide", all available from RHP.
