Most children need a space to be alone in a small quiet area. Some children just need a place to be away from the hurriedness, expectations, stress, and pressure of their daily routine. The reflection center allows these children time to relax, regain control, put problems out of their mind or reflect on problems in a journal. (
Excerpt from Rae Ann Hirsh)
