The overall goal of a calming corner is to provide children with a space in which they will feel safe recognizing and regulating their emotions in a healthy way. These corners are equipped with comforting objects and soothing materials that can promote mindfulness, breathing and reflection. Having a space designed to support them emotionally and physically helps them feel safe and comfortable, allowing them to let down their guard to process different feelings.
Learning how to communicate one’s feelings and emotions can be difficult, but calming spaces such as this help children practice mindfulness and develop skills they need to identify their emotions and communicate them when necessary. Stronger communication skills help them form stronger relationships with others and develop skills in empathy.
