Peace Corners When children experience big emotions, it may be hard for parents to find ways to help their children process these big feelings. Sometimes telling children to “calm down” or “take a deep breath” just doesn’t work. A peace corner is a great resource that can be set up in any home or school as a safe space for children to use to help them with their big feelings and emotions. This can also be called a zen zone, calm corner or whatever you and your child decide.
