This is HUGE! These spaces give children the opportunity to practice coping strategies when stress or unexpected challenges arise during the school day. \r\n\r\nBy learning how to identify their emotions and choose appropriate calming techniques at a young age, students are developing lifelong skills to manage stress, solve problems, and maintain focus in the classroom; all of which they will eventually be able to do independently. The calm-down corners have become an integral part of the school's social-emotional learning approach, empowering students to take charge of their own well-being and creating a more positive, focused, and supportive environment for everyone.\r\n\r\nThis project has not only provided physical resources but has also fostered a culture of empathy and resilience.
