Temper tantrums and behaviors are our children’s way of communicating a need or big emotion. In the midst of these outbursts, our children like anyone will not be able to communicate or think rationally. The key with emotional regulation is being aware of our emotions in the moment and using tools to take control of what we are feeling so that are our emotions don’t take control of us. Learning this early on will make transitioning through the rest of our lives obstacles so much easier.

Often times people, especially young people, have a hard time effectively expressing themselves. Sometimes this is because we are not emotionally regulated. Sometimes its because there is a communication barrier. Maybe, we don’t have the vocabulary, words, or enough understanding. Whatever the case may be, the Cozy Corner Kit can help ease effective communication. The emotion wheel (boy or girl) comes with words and facial expressions to help visualize big emotions and open up dialogue between parent and child. The coping wheel comes with visual aids as well to make it easier for children to see what coping mechanism they want to try. 

The coping skill wheel (boy or girl) has numerous healthy coping skills for children to try. They can try different ones, or stick to a favorite. Maybe different coping skills work better for specific feelings. The coping wheel allows children to see and learn different methods of helpful coping mechanisms that can help with regulation. 

Maybe one of the coolest things about this kit is that the children get to make part of it! They will be able to design, color, and assemble their very own pin wheel. They will also enjoy customizing and adding their favorite things to the magic bottle. Adding your own touch and making something uniquely yours always makes things much more special.
