The Peace Closet Chill Space

Amara is someone who puts out a lot of energy. Be it in school, where she works extremely hard, with friends, where is likes to connect and do pretween girl stuff with or with her family. Sometimes the energy is positive. Sometime not so much.  A couple of years ago, Amara  found a way to help her to regulate herself my creating her peace closet.

Thankfully it's a walk-in so there is a good amount of space but it is still left feeling cozy. She has some clothing hanging up but mostly it's her blankets, pillow and stuff animals. There are posters on the walls and her collection of rocks and sea glass.  All which sooth her when she see needs to chill   She will tell us she needs"space", when upset and off she goes and shuts the door. More often than not, Mr. Bodhi, is there with her. The two of them just hanging and getting into the zone!

I love that she has this space for herself. It serves her well. Sometimes I intrude upon her in there and I am quickly reminded to back off.  It's reassuring though however, to knows what she needs to support herself and how to self-care.
