The Quiet Corner is a short, calm poem about calming down, written for Autism Learning Guide to read aloud with your child.

Listen together Read aloud by Amy · 15 seconds

When the world feels big and loud,

Like a noisy, rushing crowd,

I can go where it is still,

Soft cushions on the windowsill.

Breathe in slow and breathe out long,

Soon I feel calm and strong.

Talk about it together

Where is your quiet place?

Tip: read it again tomorrow. Children often enjoy saying the last word of each line once the poem feels familiar.
