Calm Down Box

WHAT IS A CALM DOWN BOX?

We have all been in situations where our kid is having a meltdown. It can be at home, or in the supermarket or really anywhere! That is a moment when you as a parent feel helpless to see your child crying or screaming and that is when you and your kid will find a lot of solace by this Pandora’s box also called as calm down box. A calm down box contains all those tools that can help your child soothe their senses and calms them down. And it works wonders for all kinds of behavioral issues like anger outbursts and anxiety as well.

Instead of punishing children for having a lack of control over their emotions, a Calm Down Box encourages children to learn how to cope and gives them strategies to enable them to be the boss of their own emotions. It doesn’t promote shame over feeling emotions and it doesn’t punish, either.

The idea of a Calm Down Box is that when a child is feeling intense anger or frustration, they are encouraged to take some time and use the tools within the box to self-regulate and calm down effectively. Calm Down Boxes can be created inexpensively, often with things parents already have at home.
