CALMOMETER

Tuning into our body sensations can help us make sense of our emotional temperature.  When the emotional heat starts to rise, intervening with sensory calming tools helps us cool off and return to calm. The CALMOMETER is a tool that pairs body sensations with self-regulation strategies to create safety within the body so grownups can ANCHOR in themselves and create a safe HARBOR for their children. Use the example CALMOMETER as a starting point and then customize your own and one for each of the children in your care.
