Great minds think alike Cheerful! We have the "quiet zone" where anyone can go anytime they need a break. The exact same area is called "the cooler" when a child is asked to visit it because they need to chill out. The exact same area is simply called "go sit down" if they get aggresive. But yes, ultimately, prevention is the best medicine! If I see/hear trouble brewing, I'll say "oh no I see/hear a sad/angry faces/voices. Come talk to me about it."
