Some short clips from the lessons in this course:

Helping children understand the concept that we are all connected.
Like a necklace, we too people come in various colors, shapes, and sizes, but what we all have in common is what connects us all -- the Light that exists in each one of us. And when we are insensitive, mean, or hurtful to others, we also hurt ourselves.
Helping children learn that making an effort when things are difficult and overcoming challenges is a key to feeling empowered, capable and successful.
Helping children recognize that the Light is always shining and always present, regardless of how they feel, their choices, or the illusion of separation and disconnection.
Whether just listening to a younger sibling or sharing a treat with a friend, everyone has something to share. We help children see the Light inside them and all the many special ways they can share it with the world.

Course Outline: Level One

Prologue

Ari is a young boy who, like many boys and girls, is idealistic, wide-eyed and a little bit sarcastic. This sarcasm gets him into trouble when he visits Mr. Why’s toy store. Mr. Why sees an eagerness to learn within Ari and gives him a special game called “The Game of Life.” Ari rushes home to play the game and finds himself trapped in an alternate universe where he needs to learn the rules of the game in order to get back home to his own life. Together with Ari, your boys and girls discover the spiritual tools to win at the game of life.

Lesson 1: Life is Like a Game

Learning the rules is the only way to win.

The first step to winning any game is knowing and understanding the rules. In this lesson children understand that there is a simple metaphor for how to approach tackling life and all its many challenges.

Lesson 2: Fulfillment

Understanding what drives deeper happiness.

All the things that bring our children (and us!) the greatest sense of fulfillment in life can’t be measured or held – like love, friendship, and the feeling of really trying our best.

Lesson 3: The Light

Connecting to inner strength

The sun’s warm rays are shining even behind dark clouds. Like the sun being present (actually and metaphorically) even when it cannot be seen, there is an infinite source of strength available for children to draw from – even when life is full of challenges. In SFK we call it the Light.

Lesson 4: You are a Key Player

Revealing unique gifts

Whether just listening to a younger sibling tell a story or sharing a treat with a friend, everyone has goodness to share. At SFK we refer to this goodness as Light. We help children see the Light inside them and all the many special ways they can share it with the world.

Lesson 5: My Opponent

Seeing challenges as opportunities

Imagine shooting goals in soccer with no goalie. There would be no challenge! No improvement. In this lesson, children learn to see their “opponents” as their allies in becoming their best self and build resilience in facing their opponent head-on.

Lesson 6: My Choices

Learning to make better choices

Children (and grown ups!) often misplace the lion’s share of responsibility for their happiness on those around them: parents, siblings, friends, and teachers. In this lesson, they learn that the key to their happiness is in their own hands.

Lesson 7: Make an Effort

Igniting a desire to do their best

It is infinitely better for your sense of self-worth to try your hardest and get a “C” than to cheat and get an “A”. In this lesson, kids learn that a different and often deeper sense of fulfillment and confidence comes from making an effort, rather than taking the easy way out or giving up.

Lesson 8: The Four Step Formula

Pausing before reacting and managing emotions

When our buttons get pushed or things don’t go our way, an immediate reaction can erupt before we know what’s happening! But SFK has a formula that remedies kids’ habitual response patterns once and for all.

Lesson 9: The Power of Sharing

Sharing and cooperating feel great!

In this lesson, children learn that the wonderful feeling of making a friend smile by sharing a cookie is way more fulfilling than eating it alone. They also learn that sharing isn’t just about physical things. You can share kindness, warmth, and strength as well.

Lesson 10: How to Share

Learning the right way to share

True sharing means sharing from love, sharing to help, and sharing without expectations. In fact, sometimes true sharing means not giving something away, like saying “no” when asked to share answers on a test.

Lesson 11: We Are All Connected

Developing compassion for all

Like individual waves on the surface of a vast ocean, we are all made of the same stuff. We are all connected. Focusing on the similarities and the ties that bind us makes us all stronger.

Lesson 12: Change Begins With Me

Growing greater self-worth and sense of purpose

Every child has the potential to be great! But too often, children look out at the big world and fail to see the consequential place they can take in it. In this lesson we help children really understand where they fit.

The Epilogue

Our bright young friend, and all the children and parents who followed along, have learned a ton of useful tools in the process of completing his journey home. To find out what happens in the next chapter of our friend’s journey – you will have to follow him into Level Two.

Children and parents are raving!

This program was very simple and exactly what my child needed. It took the profound and made it completely accessible for his mind. And he loved it!

– Brooke, Mom

The program helped me deepen my knowledge on how to deal with my opponent and listen to my true voice. Each lesson was something that will be needed later on in my life and gave me a good foundation on how to handle different situations. The lessons are fun and creative way, which made me motivated to continue on from Level 1 to Level 2. It is a great accomplishment to finish both levels!

– Olivia, 13 years old

Thank you so much for all of your hard work, careful thought, and caring hearts in bringing this message for all the children of the world. My daughters and I have greatly benefited from both levels of this program. I hope that I am able to take this wisdom you have given to me and my family and ‘pay it forward.’

– Lyndra, Mom
