🐸 Calm‑Down Corner Toolkit

A calm‑down corner is a safe, quiet space where children can breathe, reset, and feel supported. It is not a punishment space — it is a regulation space.

 

What You Need

Comfort Items

  • soft cushions

  • a blanket

  • a soft toy

  • a weighted item (like a cushion)

Calming Tools

  • breathing cards

  • sensory items (stress ball, fidget, smooth stone)

  • a glitter jar

  • a “feelings fan”

  • a timer (optional)

Visual Supports

  • feelings chart

  • “How to ask for help” poster

  • Froggy breathing steps

  • “You are safe” reminder

Lighting

  • soft lighting

  • fairy lights

  • natural light if possible

 

How Children Use the Space

Children can:

  • breathe

  • sit quietly

  • hold a comfort item

  • look at calming visuals

  • ask for help

  • take time to settle

  • return when ready

There is no time limit unless needed for safety.

 

Adult Role in the Calm‑Down Corner

Adults should:

  • stay calm

  • speak gently

  • offer reassurance

  • sit nearby if wanted

  • avoid pressure

  • help the child name feelings (if they want to)

  • support co‑regulation

The goal is safety, not silence.

The Heart of It

A calm‑down corner teaches children that feelings are safe, adults are steady, and calm can be found again.

 

🐸 Froggy’s Law Digital Safety Page

Helping children stay safe, calm, and confident online.

Children live in a digital world — and they deserve to feel safe there too. This page offers simple, child‑friendly guidance for staying safe online, alongside calm, clear advice for adults.

 

For Children: Froggy’s Online Safety Rules

  1. If something feels wrong, tell an adult.

  2. Don’t talk to people you don’t know in real life.

  3. Keep your personal information private.

  4. If someone is unkind online, you are not to blame.

  5. If you see something scary or confusing, click away and tell someone.

  6. You can always ask an adult before clicking on something new.

 

For Parents & Carers: Supporting Digital Safety

  • Keep communication open — children talk when they feel safe.

  • Stay curious, not reactive — ask “What happened?” and “How did it make you feel?”

  • Use parental controls calmly — explain them as safety tools.

  • Talk about feelings, not fear — digital safety is emotional safety.

  • Model healthy online behaviour — children copy what adults do.

 

For Schools: Creating a Safe Digital Culture

  • teach emotional safety alongside online safety

  • use calm, predictable language

  • encourage reporting without fear

  • avoid shaming or blaming

  • support children who feel overwhelmed

  • share your online‑safety PDF with families

 

If a Child Is Worried About Something Online

Adults can say: “Thank you for telling me.” “You’re not in trouble.” “We’ll figure this out together.” “You’re safe now.”

Calm first. Solutions second.

 

Froggy’s Digital Promise

You deserve to feel safe online. You deserve adults who listen. You deserve calm, clear guidance.

🐸 How to Ask for Help (Child‑Friendly Guide

Everyone needs help sometimes — even grown‑ups. Asking for help is brave, safe, and always allowed.

This page shows you how to ask for help when something feels too big, too confusing, or too heavy to handle alone.

 

🌱 When Should I Ask for Help?

You can ask for help when:

  • your feelings feel too big

  • something scary or confusing happens

  • you feel worried or upset

  • someone hurts your feelings

  • you don’t feel safe

  • you don’t know what to do

  • you just need someone with you

There is no wrong time to ask for help.

 

🌱 Who Can I Ask?

You can talk to:

  • a parent or carer

  • a teacher

  • a trusted adult at school

  • a family member

  • a club leader or coach

  • any adult who makes you feel safe

You can choose the adult you trust most.

 

🌱 What Can I Say?

You don’t need perfect words. You can say:

  • “I need help.”

  • “I don’t feel okay.”

  • “Something happened and I’m scared.”

  • “Can you listen to me?”

  • “I need you to stay with me.”

  • “I don’t know what to do.”

Any words are enough.

 

🌱 What If Talking Feels Hard?

You can:

  • write it down

  • draw a picture

  • send a message

  • point to this page

  • say “I need to talk”

You don’t have to explain everything at once.

 

🌱 What Will Adults Do?

A safe adult will:

  • listen

  • stay calm

  • believe you

  • help you feel safe

  • take things slowly

  • help you figure out what to do next

You are not in trouble for asking for help.

 

🌼 Froggy’s Promise

Your feelings matter. Your voice matters. You deserve help whenever you need it.

 

🌿 Parent‑Friendly “What To Do If You’re Worried” Guide

Calm, clear, non‑judgemental guidance for adults.

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts. You don’t need proof — concern is enough.

This page offers calm, clear steps for parents and carers who are worried about a child’s emotional or physical wellbeing.

 

🌱 Step 1: Pause and Notice

Ask yourself:

  • Has their behaviour changed?

  • Do they seem overwhelmed, withdrawn, or unusually upset?

  • Are they avoiding someone or something?

  • Are they showing signs of emotional overload?

Your observations matter.

 

🌱 Step 2: Create a Safe Moment to Talk

Use gentle, open language:

  • “You seem a bit different lately. I’m here if you want to talk.”

  • “I’ve noticed you’ve been upset. You’re not in trouble.”

  • “You can tell me anything. I’ll listen.”

Children talk when they feel safe — not pressured.

 

🌱 Step 3: Listen Before You Guide

Let them speak at their own pace. Avoid interrupting, correcting, or rushing.

You can say:

  • “Thank you for telling me.”

  • “Your feelings make sense.”

  • “I’m glad you came to me.”

Listening is the most powerful support.

 

🌱 Step 4: Offer Calm Reassurance

Children need to know:

  • they’re safe

  • they’re believed

  • they’re not to blame

  • you’re here to help

Your calm becomes their calm.

 

🌱 Step 5: Decide What Support Is Needed

Depending on the situation, you may:

  • keep offering emotional support at home

  • speak to a teacher or trusted professional

  • contact your local safeguarding team

  • reach out to a GP or community service

You don’t have to handle everything alone.

 

🌱 Step 6: If You’re Unsure, Talk to Someone

It’s okay not to know what to do. You can still ask for guidance from:

  • school staff

  • health professionals

  • safeguarding teams

  • trusted adults in your community

Asking for help is a strength.

 

🌼 The Heart of It

Children feel safest when adults respond with calm, clarity, and care. If you’re worried, you’re already doing the right thing by paying attention.
