Love the Calming Corner
The Calming Corner has been really helpful with my 7yo. He now knows the 4 main emotions and is getting much better at articulating his thoughts and what situation made him upset. Calming down has been a struggle, but he now asks to visit the Calming Corner with me. School and afterschool daycare have both adopted the calming activities to help him too. Our elementary school uses a model of restorative justice for behavior issues and the Gen Mindful program activities are a nice compliment. Understanding our emotions comes before we can successfully regulate our emotions.
