ABOUT LIFE INGREDIENTS
“Well, you turned out okay.”
Don’t we want more for our kids? We owe it to our kids to help them be the best they can be. That’s why we created Life Ingredients…or more commonly known as “the course I wish I had when I was growing up.”
Life Ingredients is a new approach to teaching kids about wellness. Through personal experience and scientific research, we’ve identified 8 easy to learn principles to help children better understand life.
Our courses and books are designed to be entertaining, educational, and easily fit into any lifestyle. All of our educational materials focus on emotional growth, enabling children to:
- Create a calm state anytime, anywhere.
- Explore the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions.
- Build heartfelt relationships that last a lifetime.
Our goal is to see children and adults learning together to create a more caring and kinder world.
