Frequently asked questions
A calm down corner is a small, cosy space at home or in the classroom where a child can go to slow down when feelings get big. It is a welcoming spot they can choose, not a time out, stocked with a few simple tools to breathe, cuddle, fidget and settle.
Start with something soft to sit on, something to cuddle such as a Weighted Buddy, a breathing tool such as the Mindfulness Magic Ball, something for busy hands such as Worry Stones or Patience Pebbles, and a few simple visuals like affirmation cards or a printable calm plan.
Most families start a calm down corner around age 3, when children begin to name their feelings, and it works well right through the primary school years. Weighted Buddies and the Mindfulness Magic Ball are suitable for ages 3 and up, and each product page lists its recommended age.
