Dedication Punctuation - include a period?
For the dedication of my upcoming book, I have written
For my child.
Do you think that period should be there?

sure, why not? just don't do the crazy poetry thing and hold the period until the blank page after the About the Author blurb.
More seriously, it's a purely aesthetic choice. Use it, leave it out, doesn't matter.
It's all based on the author, both ways work. If you like the feel of a completed sentence, punctuation is your friend! If you would rather prefer the dedication to be more like a headline, skip the periods.
