Book recommendations and other resources to support the individuals, couples and families I work with
ARTICLES & INFO FOR PARENTS
Great article on how and why to create a "calm down corner" to support your younger children in learning how to regulate and manage difficult emotions. This is a great alternative to "time outs."
Free resources for mindfulness and emotion regulation from the Calmee the Caterpillar company. They also have various resources that may be helpful to building your calm down corner, or give you ideas for the kinds of things to include.
