My kiddo, five, attends (almost done) a Montessori daycare where they have a little nook where they go for complete quiet--just time for themselves to think things over. Without even telling her to build one, she built one in our living room and she heads there whenever frustrated and comes out on her own once ready to go on with the day.
The Peace-whatever is an excellent route.

I love the peace rose. Actually this whole article just makes sense.
I treat my 2 years old son exactly this way, narrating the situation, the feelings, the consequences.
A few days ago, he naturally said: "I am upset because I wanted to play with Play-Doh."
I was just amazed at this.
Thanks for the shoutout! I appreciate it.
