CALMING DOWN CORNER

Today I will present the calming down corner. This is a technic used with children from 3 to 5 and it`s very simple.

It consists in letting the children go to this corner when they have something to express.

Once there, children have to choose one of the three faces that are glued in the corner. One of the faces, represent an angry feeling. The second one means " I am sad " and the third means " I am good but I need to be alone ".

Children identify easily what they have to do and they begin using the calming down corner in everyday situations.

When we see that children have the possibility to learn more feelings, we can insert the faces we feel necessary.
