CASEL's National SEL Standards Aligned
When maladaptive behaviors occur, this toolkit support educators in identifying and building lagging skills. This restorative approach is evidence-based and guided by the belief that "kids do well if they can", a foundational concept from child psychologist Dr. Ross Greene.
Inclusive, Strength-Based Classroom Management
GENM tools educate rather than punish children who are still learning to regulate, strengthening social-emotional skills, vital for school readiness and a lifetime of learning, health, and well-being.
92.7% of educators and therapists agree that GENM tools save time on classroom management.

There is a connection between punishment-based discipline, lost class time, and the many inequitable PreK suspensions that fuel the school-to-prison pipeline.
Play Is Learning
It's true! Research shows that play helps to stir up neuron activity in the front end of the brain—the part that plays a critical role in regulating emotions, making plans, and solving problems.
Play builds social brains that know how to interact with others in positive ways. That’s why “Playing to Learn” is at the forefront of our six-element approach to helping every child build their social and emotional skills.

Relational Approach to Skill-Building
Take a closer look at our approach:
Play-Based. Play-based learning is intrinsically motivating for both children and adults.
Tangible Tools. Concrete, tangible tools are ideal for learners big and small. This includes young children who struggle with abstract concepts like emotions as well as adults today, many of whom were never taught about their feelings when they were young, and who primarily received punishment-based discipline.
Relational Approach. As adults, we lead and guide children most powerfully by example. Our multi-generational approach to social-emotional learning recognizes the adult's need for tools and support to regulate their emotions first, if they are to co-regulate, redirect, teach, and guide a child who is dysregulated.

Help Bridge Social-Emotional Learning Into The Home!
For our educators who are bringing GENM tools into your classrooms, we've created this, "Dear Families..." letter to help you share about the many strengths-based ways you are nurturing social and emotional skills in your classroom with parents!
81% of educators say a lack of reinforcement at home is a big challenge for schools implementing SEL. 66% say it’s the biggest challenge.
“When I got my strong-willed child, time-outs were ineffective. I needed a different method - something in a box with instructions, videos, and a community to hold my hand. As a long-time educator and therapist, I worked with so many families and educators with this same need... so I made it! As adults today, we have the science but often lack the skills and mindset necessary to raise children differently than we were raised. Having tangible tools to guide us in our learning, and to guide children in theirs, making it concrete, is helpful!”
-Suzanne Tucker, Founder of Generation Mindful, on her inspiration to create the Time-In ToolKit®
