    My playroom is a very pale buttercream yellow and my crew rarely cries

    That said I too have read that more and more brain research is showing that the primary colors or bright red / blue / yellow we have typically seen in childcare spaces over the past several decades actually overstimulates the brain and makes it harder for them to 'attend' or 'calm themselves' ... if you attend any workshops / seminars on planning emergent child led environments or go into any of the newer Full Day Early Learning programs that have been 'renovated' they are gone to natural wooden furniture and natural tones in the walls and curtains and so forth to lower the 'stress' in the room and create that calm soothing learning environment ... any 'color' added to the room is in the materials and equipment for the children to explore with so that they can 'focus' on that and not the walls/decor.
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."
