Creating a Calming Corner at home provides Kiddies with a safe space to navigate their emotions, fostering self-awareness, and finding balance. Managing feelings isn’t just a child’s challenge; we adults struggle too! That’s the reason we’ve crafted these visual posters to help guide the little (and big ones) with some simple yet effective coping skills!
The posters are easy to assemble and interchangeable, allowing for exploration of various coping methods. Plus, our erasable doodle pad offers a creative outlet for Kiddies to redirect uncomfortable thoughts away and focus on the present moment. You may also consider including stress-relief toys in your Calming Corner for Kiddies to discover which tools resonate best with them.
While results may not be immediate as it requires lots of practicing, progress is gradual but significant. Our ultimate aim is to cultivate emotional self-regulation for healthy mental development!
Check out each poster's purpose below:
😆😡🤢 Feelings Zone
It's crucial to recognize, validate, and offer support for ALL emotions, regardless of their size, intensity, or energy level. Let Kiddie spin the arrow and identify their feelings at the moment. He/She can feel Happy, Worried, Scare or Tired. Understanding which zone Kiddie is in enables them to strategize their next steps for self-regulating their emotions.
😲😯💨 Breathing Exercise
Breathing exercises are easy and an excellent method for instilling self-regulation skills in children and even adults!
Simply point your finger 👆, position it at the starting point, trace the shape and follow the breathing patterns! Repeat this exercise in multiple sets until you feel a sense of calm 😌
