Less than $5 Homeschool Child Care Activities

This packet gives you the resources needed to set up a Calming Corner in your classroom or home. Calming Corners help children deal with their BIG feelings and gain self-regulation skills while they calm down. A Calming Corner can provide children with a safe place to process their emotions and regulate their responses. The Calming Corner can help children de-escalate emotions and anxiety before these feelings become overwhelming. It can also help children filter out sensory information and regain emotional balance.
