How to provide a Calming Space/Corner for your child
In Play Therapy and at home, one way to help kids learn how to REGULATE their EMOTIONS is to provide a Calming Space/Corner.
A safe space they can go to when they're feeling heightened and need to regain emotional and physical control. A place to relax, soothe and just BE.
A Calming Space can be as simple as a beanbag, tent or soft rug. Fill it with comforting items that promote MINDFULNESS and SELF-CONNECTION like bubbles, stuffed animals, fave books and colouring supplies.
PS. If you're self-employed, work with kids and are looking to casually rent a child-friendly space, our Playroom rental includes equipment like this tent and beanbag 😄
