About Calm Down Corner & Meltdown Recovery

After school, before bed or after a big feeling, many kids need a predictable place to reset. A calm corner works best when it is quiet, a little enclosed, and used before things build up as well as after.

Where to start

  • Wants to be squeezed or hugged: a weighted plush, weighted blanket or compression vest
  • Wants to hide or curl up: a cocoon swing, lounger or bean bag
  • Needs something to focus on: a breathing ball, bubbler timer or bubble tube lamp
  • Overwhelmed by noise: noise-reducing headphones
  • Want it all in one box: the Calm Down Nook Kit

Chosen by pediatric OT Earl Mamaril, MS, OTR/L. Weighted items should be sized to your child and used with supervision; each product page has its own safety notes. Not sure which one fits your child? Book a free 15-minute call with our OT.
