Tips for Caregivers & Professionals:

– Introduce social & emotional learning tools first when kids are calm. Then, use them in a designated calm-down corner or space.

– I’ve purposefully included both “clipart” and “real face” feelings cards and posters in this kit to allow for your child(ren) to exercise choice within their calm down corner. Allowing kids to have ownership over the space is essential for buy-in and collaborative problem-solving!

– Several of the calm down strategies include basic kids’ items, most of which you likely have in your classroom or office: Drawing/coloring tools, paper, play dough, books, stress ball, music, and stuffed animals. Remember to gather and store these items in your calm down corner ahead of time!
