Great article about ways to help children calm themselves. It is about children who have experienced some sort of trauma, but it also goes into how some practical strategies can help any child with calming.

They sound a lot like the techniques I learned from reading How to Talk so Your Kids Will Listen, and Listen so They Will Talk, and Siblings Without Rivalry. Sometimes calmly naming and validating a child's feelings without judgement can really diffuse a charged situation.
