EP. 44 | Creating Space For Children to Regulate Their Energy and Emotions

Show Notes


Calm Corner, Safe Space, Meditation Station: Whatever you call it, creating an area in your home or classroom for children to balance their energy can be incredibly powerful. In this space, children practice developmentally-appropriate self-regulation techniques and are empowered to advocate for their mental and physical needs.

In this episode of Mindful Conversations with KAY, Kelly and Kristi describe their successful Calm Corners including:

  • recognizing body signals and utilizing tools to self-regulate
  • setting rules for Calm Corners
  • best tools and props to fill your Calm Corner
  • prepping children to use tools effectively and appropriately
