Find a corner of your house that is quiet (if possible).
Put comfy pillows, blankets, stuffed animal and/or a comfy chair in the corner.
Sometimes being able to have a partition around the calm down corner is helpful to block out distractions.
You can use the calm down corner when you are angry, sad, stressed out or anxious and can't focus on your school work.
One person in the calm down corner at a time.
Spend 10-15 minutes in the calm down corner. (Setting a timer for this is helpful.)
Make sure you are using the calm down tools correctly and not just playing with them.
Focus on your breathing and taking calm belly breaths.
Choose a strategy or calming tool.
Turn on timer. (10 -15 min max)
Breathe
Go back to what you were doing before you got upset, angry, sad, stressed or anxious.
