Cosy Corner

A cozy corner is a carefully designed space within the classroom or learning environment that serves as a refuge for children to manage their emotions and recharge. This space is often set up with soft furnishings like cushions, bean bags, or small chairs, creating a physically comfortable and inviting atmosphere. It is intentionally quiet and tucked away to ensure privacy and a sense of security.Cozy corners are equipped with tools to help children identify and process their emotions. For example, there may be:

Emotion charts or mirrors to help children recognize and label their feelings.

Sensory tools like stress balls, fidget toys, or weighted blankets to provide calming tactile input.

Books about emotions or calming stories to guide children in understanding and navigating their feelings.

Breathing or mindfulness prompts to encourage self-regulation techniques.

The cozy corner is not used as a punishment or a time-out zone but rather as a proactive resource that teaches children how to cope with strong emotions constructively. It is introduced to children as a choice—a place they can go when they.
