All the items would provide a calm down area for my students. This is important for ED students because a calm down space gives them a chance to remove themselves from a stressful situation without fear of being in trouble. It shows them that it is okay to get upset, frustrated or angry, but it is more important for them to learn the independent coping skills to leave a situation when needed. A calm down corner helps promote self-regulation skills by teaching students to stop and check-in with themselves. My students would extremely benefit from this opportunity of a calm down area.
