It sounds pretty simple: plant some seeds, add water, sunshine, and in time tiny sprouts pop up through the ground. It only seems natural that if you follow the same steps, you'll get the same results -- but it doesn't always happen that way. Not all seeds become hearty and healthy fruits and vegetables. Why?

The same can be said of a child and the benefits of a happy and healthy home, with a nurturing family that tends the garden and feeds the soul.

YOU ARE LIKE A SEED teaches kids to trust their authentic self, knowing that deep inside, they already have everything it takes to experience a life of happiness.
