What Is a "Calm Corner"?

*A Gentle Space for Emotional Processing* 

 

A Calm Corner is not a "time-out zone" but a safe space where emotions can flow naturally. Free of judgment or pressure, it uses soft lighting, comforting textures, and familiar items to help children self-regulate. 

 

Consider including: 

• A soft rug or cushion 

• Weighted or textured sensory toys (we recommend designs from **CuddleWorks**, a team specializing in tools for neurodiverse children) 

• A dimmable light 

• A well-loved picture book 

• Fidget-friendly fabrics or squeezable toys 

• A note saying, "Take your time here." 

 

Simple elements like these create an emotional safe haven. No expensive tools are needed—just a dedicated space where children feel secure.
