Calming Corner: Self-Regulation in Action

Has your "calming corner" really turned into a "time-out" area? Young children easily become overwhelmed with big emotions. Setting up an area where children can go and calm is essential in any early childhood program, but that is only the first step. In this training, you will review how to teach, model, and reinforce the use of the calming corner. Scenarios will be discussed to critique and improve teaching practices. Come learn how to get the most out of your calming corner!
