What is a Calm Corner?
A Calm Corner is a safe place in your home or classroom where a child who is experiencing BIG feelings can go calm their bodies, engage in mindfulness and release intense emotions in a safe and controlled environment.
Not to be confused with a ‘naughty corner’ or being placed in ‘time-out’, the Calm Corner is a place for a child to feel calm and balanced again. This space may consist of some comfortable, soft cushions and blankets. Along with a basket full of sensory resources or activities for your child to engage with, which will enable them to regulate their emotions and help them regain their emotional and physical control.

How do you introduce a calm corner?
Introduce the Calm Corner when your child is in a calm state. Make it part of your daily routine by encouraging mindful time or simply cuddling and reading about emotions together. Ensure you keep things playful and consistent.
Spend about 2 to 3 weeks engaging with them in the space. You may even begin to model using the Calm Corner when you feel mad or upset. Verbalise this with your little one by saying, "I am feeling angry. I am going to visit the Calm Corner and take some deep breaths to calm down". Continue to model this with different emotions and engage with the sensory resources or activities set up to help your child understand how you use the space to self-regulate.
Once your little one is comfortable and engaging with the Calm Corner, it's time to utilise it when they have a tantrum or meltdown. The goal is to help deescalate the child when they feel overstimulated. Follow their cues, let them know they are not alone, offer hugs and allow them to have space if they need it.
As the child becomes more confident in the space, take a step back and allow them to take control of how they use the Calm Corner to regulate their emotions. These are their first steps toward self-regulation and away from guided or co-regulation.
