When you'll use it

For the moments when feelings get too big to think.

Wound up after a big day at school.

The calm corner gives them somewhere to go, and four simple steps to follow when they get there.

“I don't know what to do!”

Eight body-tool posters to pick from, so they're not trying to remember a list mid-meltdown.

Calm again, but still stuck.

The “What next?” poster helps them choose what to do once their body has settled.

How it works

Four steps, every time

1
Name itCheck the feelings poster: what am I feeling?
2

3

4

About 20 minutes to set up together, then a few minutes whenever it's needed.

Honest fit check

Is it right for your family?

A great fit if…

Your child gets overwhelmed and needs somewhere to reset.
You'd like a calm-down routine that doesn't depend on you remembering what to say.
You've done the Starter Workbook and want to put body tools into everyday use.

Not the right tool if…

You're looking for a time-out spot. The calm corner is never a punishment.
Big feelings are leading to unsafe behaviour often. Please talk to your GP.

The research behind it

Built on the same evidence as the Starter Workbook.

Calming the body

Calming skills are a common part of programs that help children with strong feelings. They work best when practised while calm first, which is what the calm plan is for.

Paired with next steps

Results for calming exercises on their own are mixed, so the kit always leads to a “What next?” step.

These kits are for everyday big feelings. They're skills practice, not therapy, and they don't replace professional help. If your child's worries are stopping them from doing everyday things, talk to your GP.

Questions about this kit

Is the calm corner a time-out?

No. It's a place your child chooses, with a grown-up nearby. The guide explains how to keep it that way.

Do we need to do the Starter Workbook first?

It helps, because the kits use the same characters and tools. But every kit opens with a quick recap of Name it and Body tools, so you can start here too.

How do I get it?

It's an instant download. Your links arrive by email straight after checkout. Nothing is posted.

Do I need a colour printer?

No. Every page works in black-and-white. Print posters and cards on card if you can.

Can I use it with more than one child?

Yes. Print as many copies as you need for your own family.
