Create a 'Calm Corner' for big feelings

A designated Calm Corner can help kids manage overwhelming emotions. Fill it with soft cushions, sensory toys, noise-cancelling headphones, or weighted blankets. This space gives children a safe place to self-regulate and feel in control when they need a break. Let your child personalize it for a space they love.

Here’s what to include:

  • Soft pillows & weighted blankets for comfort
  • Noise-canceling headphones to block out distractions
  • Fidget toys & sensory tools for self-soothing
  • Dim lighting or cozy decor for relaxation
