Make a set of cool down cubes. Use a plastic jar and reusable ice cubes. Write a safe “cool down” strategy on each one. For example: walk away, count to ten, take a deep breath or talk to a friend. When a child gets upset, he/she can select a cube from the cool down jar. This can be done in small group.
