With these trying times I have seen an increase in our students becoming easily agitated and upset in their homes. Many parents have shared that they have seen an increase in the amount of tantrums and/or arguments with their children. With the opportunity to have a calming kit at home, students can engage their 5 senses in order to turn down intense emotions. This calming kit will have a variety of items that will allow them to use each of their senses to help regulate their emotions. Teaching children self regulation and learning to calm themselves down is a lifelong skill that helps creates a more positive relationship with their families and peers and in turn help them be more academically engaged.
