In front of them is a double side-by-side stroller holding two toddlers. • The Setting: The group stands on a light gray sidewalk under clear daylight, casting sharp shadows on the ground. Behind them is an asphalt parking lot with yellow painted lines and a few parked vehicles, including a blue pickup truck on the far left and a gray SUV on the right. A thick line of lush green trees stands under a bright blue sky filled with scattered white, puffy clouds in the background.

Guidelines: When to Use vs. When NOT to Use  • Text Content: 	• Section Header: "When should you use it?" 	• Bullet Points: 		• "Before things escalate- help your child identify when their emotions are getting out of control. Examples of this could be a clenched jaw, tight fists, shouting, furrowed brows, or throwing things." 		• "When your child is overstimulated and needs a quiet space to reset" 		• "When your child decides it's time - whenever they feel they need a moment to recharge." 	• Section Header: "When NOT to use it:" 	• Bullet Points: 		• "As a punishment- This is a place for them to calm down before things get worse and lead to a meltdown" 		• "For avoidance - this is a space for them to recharge and settle down, not to avoid tasks or chores."  3.

 Image Description  A high-angle, outdoor photograph captures a large group of young children and several adults having a picnic lunch on a green lawn next to a school building. • The Group: 	• Approximately 25 young children are scattered across the grass, mostly seated in small clusters. They are eating lunch out of personal lunchboxes, plastic containers, and bags. 	• Several adult women are interspersed among the children to supervise. On the far left, a woman sits on the grass next to a young girl, while another woman stands nearby on the sidewalk. On the far right, a woman leans over to assist a child with their lunch. Other adults are seated cross-legged further back on the lawn near the school building. • The Setting: The picnic takes place on a manicured patch of green grass directly outside a large school building constructed from tan and reddish-brown brick blocks. In the background, a mature evergreen tree sits near the group, with a paved sidewalk, an empty street, a distant parking lot, and a yellow school bus visible under an overcast sky.

 Image Description  A wide, eye-level outdoor photograph captures a large group of approximately 30 young children posing together on a wooden playground structure. • The Group: 	• The children, appearing to be around preschool or kindergarten age, are arranged in multi-tiered rows across a large wooden play platform. Some are sitting on benches, some are perched on higher steps, and others sit directly on the deck floor. 	• They are dressed in casual, colorful spring or fall clothing, including sweatshirts, t-shirts, and jeans. Notably, a boy on the far left wears a grey Minnesota Twins sweatshirt, and a boy seated in the front row wears a green Dallas Stars hockey jersey. Most of the children are smiling and looking directly toward the camera. • The Setting: The children are gathered on a weathered, dark brown wooden playground structure featuring a tall, vertical climbing tower in the center background. The platform is surrounded by a low wooden safety railing in the foreground. In the background, tall, mature deciduous and evergreen trees with light green foliage stand under a bright, clear sky, with a hint of a green lawn and distant buildings visible through the trees.
