Alone Time Door Hanger

Teaching kids how to name their needs is part of raising emotionally healthy humans.

This reversible door hanger from People I’ve Loved gives children a simple, clear way to communicate two very real feelings: “I need to be alone (but I still love you)” and “I need you.” It helps take the guesswork out of those in-between moments when they’re overwhelmed, overstimulated, or just craving connection.

We chose it because it supports emotional literacy in a practical way. No lecture required. Just a visible cue on the door.

Your kiddo can hang this on their bedroom door during quiet time, after school decompression, or when they need a boundary that isn’t a slammed door. They can flip it when they’re ready for help with homework, a bedtime story, or a hug.

It creates a low-drama way to respect space while keeping connection close. For parents, it can prevent unnecessary power struggles and encourage kids to pause and check in with what they’re actually feeling.
