Calm Down Corner Posters — 9 Printable Signs for Kids | Feelings Chart & Coping Skills | ADHD Autism

Not a time-out. A place to come back from.

A printable calm down corner kit for ADHD and autistic kids ages 5–10 — eight posters and a door sign for the corner of the room where big feelings get to be big.

A calm down corner only works if it is never used as a punishment. The moment it becomes where you get sent, it stops being where you choose to go — and a place you're sent to can't help anyone regulate. This kit is built around that one rule.

What's inside — 9 pages, US Letter

• "How big is it?" — a 5-level feelings thermometer, with what each level actually feels like
• "Take a breath" — six breathing options, pictures not paragraphs
• "Things that help" — nine choices, so the child picks (choosing is half the regulation)
• "Name it" — nine feelings with the body sensation that goes with each one
• "I can say" — five borrowed scripts, including "I'm not ready to talk"
• "Coming back" — a five-step re-entry, no apology required
• "My calm corner" — a door sign for the space itself
• Parent guide — building the corner, and what to say when they come back

Why no reward chart: nobody is in trouble for a feeling. There is nothing to earn in here.
