Your child’s Lifebook can be a treasured artifact for your child, but it should not become an obsession for either of you. Include the information you know, seek out the information you don’t. Sometimes there will be gaps, either because information has been lost, was never documented or because memories have failed. Do the best you can, but don’t worry about what has been left out. If your child asks about a missing piece, answer honestly, “Unfortunately, we just don’t know about that.” If they are upset, remind them that most people have gaps in their histories. Over time pieces of an individual’s history tend to get lost.
