How to Create a Calm-Down Corner in Your Classroom (& Ensure It Works)

<p class="p1">It’s tough being a kid and learning how to navigate big emotions like sadness, anger, frustration, stress, and disappointment. I’m sure you’ve noticed that some of your students have a more difficult time than others when it comes to processing these types of emotions. We all have those students who have really big tempers, or become upset easily. Having a special space in your classroom where students can go to work through their emotions safely is a game-changer.

Today I’m sharing how to set up a calm-down corner and how to prepare your students to use it in a useful way.</p> <p class="p1">Show Notes:</p> <p class="p1"><a href= "https://www.drlorifriesen.com/blog/calm-down-corner" target= "_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.drlorifriesen.com/blog/calm-down-corner</a></p> <p class="p1">Grab my Out of Control, Chatty Class Rescue Bundle: <a href="https://www.drlorifriesen.com/rescue-bundle" target= "_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.drlorifriesen.com/rescue-bundle</a></p> <p class="p1">Check out my Chaos to Confidence Classroom Management System: <a href="https://www.drlorifriesen.com/confidence" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://www.drlorifriesen.com/confidence</a></p> <p class="p1">Join our Beginning Teacher Talk Private FB Group now: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/BeginningTeacherTalkGroup/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/BeginningTeacherTalkGroup/</a></p> <p class="p1">Check out Lori's TpT store (Beginning Teacher Talk):<br /> <a href= "https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Beginning-Teacher-Talk">https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Beginning-Teacher-Talk</a> Connect with Lori on Pinterest: <a href= "https://www.pinterest.com/drlorifriesen/">https://www.pinterest.com/drlorifriesen/</a></p> <p class="p1">Connect with Lori on Instagram:<br /> <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/beginningteachertalk">https://www.instagram.com/beginningteachertalk</a></p> <p>If the Beginning Teache
