Thank you so much for all of the options and resources included!" "There are not enough words to say how amazing this resource is. I went through a ton of options before I bought this product but it was the best this I have ever purchased on this website. This is so well thought out and organized. You can tell the creator really understand childhood development and feelings. I love that there are resources to help kids identify their feelings. There are also ways for the kids to ask for help from the teacher. This whole thing is amazing. I love that there are different color schemes to match your room and ideals. The activities are also differentiated. WholeHearted School Counseling could sell this for 20 or more dollars and it would still be worth the price. Get it while you can!"

More and more we are learning about the vital importance of cultivating trauma sensitive classrooms and schools. Kids need to feel safe, cared for and seen before they are ready to learn and get along with others. Warrior educators like yourself understand this... and this is why we are seeing a movement to implement safe spaces, like Calm Corners in classrooms. Teaching children self-regulation coping tools helps the thinking part of their brain, the pre-fontal cortex, to get back on track when big emotions -which are adaptive and there for very good reasons- make it hard for kids to engage in school tasks. Many of our students need extra support in this area, often coming to school already in a reactive state of fear, worry & chronic stress. Until we help students manage and relate-with kindness & compassion-to these challenging emotional experiences, they will not be ready to learn the academic tools that students need to be successful in and out of school.

One of the questions I often get asked is, “how do you know what to include in your daily spreads?”.. but most importantly, “How do you make sure you don’t forget anything in your daily spreads?” I use what I would call a “trickle down” […]
