Calming Corners- The Lake

Sometimes kids have big emotions or need a space to regain control of their bodies.  I have created a calming space.  Pictured here is a basket of calming activities and objects.

This is my calming corner.  I call it The Lake because it is more soothing to tell a child the "go to the lake" when they are having big feelings.

I've included sturdy board books in case hands are not gentle enough for paper pages.

I allow kids to use the lake on their own or at my determination depending on the situation.
