Helping Children Feel Comfortable and Calm
Honig, Alice Sterling; Miller, Susan A.; Church, Ellen Booth
Early Childhood Today, v21 n1 p27-33 Aug-Sep 2006
This article presents calming activities and routines for children at different ages and stages. Honig discusses the different stages of arousal for children ages 0-2 and gives suggestions for ways to sooth fussy babies. Miller discusses calming activities and comforting environments for children ages 3-4, and recommends activities that require organization skills for this age group. Church describes the stages of development of 5- to 6-year-olds, who may seem to exhibit independence but nonetheless still have fears of separation when dealing with new situations.
