About Generation Mindful
Welcome to Generation Mindful, where we are on a mission to raise an emotionally healthy world. Founded by Suzanne Tucker, a physical therapist and parent educator with over 30 years of experience, Gen:M was born from the belief that emotional intelligence is a skill that can be taught—early, playfully, and universally.
We provide "cycle-breaking" caregivers, educators, and therapists with the evidence-based tools they need to replace outdated discipline with connection and understanding.
Our Mission: Connection Over Compliance
At Generation Mindful, we believe that "time-outs" and behavioral charts often fail to meet a child’s true emotional needs. Instead, we advocate for "Time-Ins"—a practice that fosters self-regulation, empathy, and social-emotional learning (SEL). Our goal is to make it "safe to feel" for both children and adults, turning everyday power struggles into moments of lifelong learning.
