What is a Calm Down Corner?
A Calm Down Corner is a place for kids to do just what the name says - calm down. It is a place where your child can pause and reset. Often when children are misbehaving, it's because they are overstimulated. Going to a calm down corner is not a punishment, it is actually a happy space and a learned coping skill.
