wont use schools 'safe space'

Has anyone got any tips to encourage a child to use a 'safe space' when they are overwhelmed.

Currently my child runs and hides and his school are really struggling with this.  They have made it very clear I have to get him using a safe space. 

I have made a nice box of things up for him but he doesn't like the idea at all, so we are starting with a very negative stance.

  • Did your child choose the safe space at school.  Can you engineer somehow that he has an input about what and where it is.  This is what I am trying with my 10 year old.  He wants somewhere private, not in the classroom.  The sensory room is being used for something else!
