Skill #3: GREEN AND RED BEHAVIOR [DIGITAL]

Teach children how to recognize and respond to expected and unexpected behaviors with the “Green and Red Behavior” module from Heart & Mind Matters’ SEL for the Wholesome Child curriculum. This lesson introduces the concept of green behaviors as actions that are expected and help interactions go smoothly, and red behaviors as actions that are surprising or unexpected.

Through relatable scenarios, sorting activities, and visual prompts, students learn that what is expected can change depending on where they are and who they are with. They practice identifying behaviors in different contexts, understanding how their actions affect others, and making positive behavior choices.

With clear objectives and generalization goals, this module helps children build social awareness, adaptability, and stronger peer relationships. It equips them with a simple and effective framework they can apply to any situation, encouraging consistent reflection on whether they are acting in the expected or unexpected way.

Perfect for educators, therapists, and parents who want to nurture thoughtful, considerate behavior in children.
