Calm-Down Corners for Kids

Written By Cynthia Skyers-Gordon

Give children a safe space to reset their emotions.

Why it matters:
A cozy corner can prevent classroom meltdowns and teach kids how to regulate emotions independently.

Ideas to Build Your Calm-Down Space:

  • Comfort Items – Add pillows, beanbags, or soft blankets.

  • Visuals – Include a feelings chart and calming strategy cards.

  • Quiet Activities – Stock books, sensory bottles, or fidget tools.

  • Routine – Teach kids how to choose the space and when to return to group activities.

Tip: Make it inviting, not isolating, a space that feels special, not like a “time-out.”
