Calm corner ideas
If your child’s calm corner is a pile of cushions and a book, it might be missing a vital component: proprioceptive input.
For many neurodivergent children, sitting still is actually harder for their nervous system than moving. To help a child truly self-regulate, we often need to organise their brain through their muscles with proprioception strategies.
Instead of asking them to sit and read a book or draw, try adding:
* A squeezing station
* A tearing station
* A small space to tuck up and snuggle
* Bean bags to crash their body onto
* A specific wall push spot for quick, heavy muscle work.
