What If We Practiced Life, Too?

 You know what I've noticed?

We practice so many things with our children.

We practice soccer. We practice reading. We practice mathematics. We practice dancing.

But somehow, when it comes to life, we often expect our children to just know what to do.

How to calm themselves when they're upset.
How to handle disappointment.
How to pay attention.
How to make a thoughtful choice.
How to understand what's happening inside.

But life takes practice, too.

That's why I created the 8 Life Stories.

Each story gives children an opportunity to explore an idea about life in a way they can understand and connect with. And the stories are paired with Calm Mind practices that give them a simple way to pause, settle, and practice what they're learning.

Because it's one thing to tell a child, “Calm down.”

It's another thing to actually give them a way to practice calming their mind.

And that's what I hope Life Ingredients can offer—a simple way for children and the grown-ups who love them to practice life together, one story at a time.

As we head back to school, I thought this was a good time to begin.

For a limited time, you can get all 8 Life Stories for $29.99, regularly $39.99.

Back to School. Back to Life.

Because our children are learning more than school subjects. They're learning how to live.

I talk a little more about why I believe life takes practice, too, in my latest YouTube video. If you have a few minutes, I'd love for you to join me there. Watch on YouTube
