Creating a Calm Down Space

Season 4- Episode 27

In this second episode of this re-introduction to the Returning To Us series, Lauren walks through how to build and use a calm down quiet space in your home or classroom. In the last episode, Lauren strategies for recognizing and categorizing emotional states - a critical step in emotional regulation.

Creating a quiet space to facilitate regulation is an easy way to help your kiddos with emotional regulation. This isn't a time out or punishment; it's a safe place where kids can go to focus on how they are feeling internally and employ emotional regulation strategies.

Lauren provides the steps necessary to setting up a quiet space in your home and teaching your young kids to use it in concert with the regulation strategies and temperature system introduced in past episodes.
