calm down corner
Emotional regulation space
A calm down corner is a designated space, typically in a home or classroom, where a child can go to regain emotional composure.
Usually equipped with soft seating, sensory items, or comfort objects, it offers an alternative to traditional punishment: When he started getting frustrated, his teacher suggested he visit the calm down corner.
The concept reflects modern approaches to childhood emotional regulation that emphasize self-soothing over discipline.
