On a recent trip to Minnesota we found a great calming aid for Rocket Boy - a water/oil sculpture. You know, the kind that drip slowly and most people use as paper weights? This little thing came in especially handy during a level 10 meltdown later that night.
After seeing how much he loved them I had to hunt for more. Amazon turned up a few neat ones so we now have a little collection. Hopefully I can find some large ones eventually. I plan to make a calming glitter jar as well.
What tools work as calming aids for your kids when a meltdown is on the horizon?
