What it is
Teens make a lot of choices: friends, classes, teams, weekends, what to post, what to say yes and no to. My Compass helps them figure out what actually matters to them, so those choices get a little easier. It's a printable values card sort plus a 14-page workbook, written straight to teens in plain words. Not religious, not political, and nothing to grade.
What's included
- 36 value cards in six color families (My people, How I treat people, Being me, Growing, Spark, My world). Every card has a one-line "what it looks like" in teen words, plus a "for me, it looks like" space to make it personal
- 3 pile cards (Really me, Sometimes me, Not really me), 2 how-to cards, and 4 blank cards for values of their own
- What Even Is a Value?: values vs. goals vs. rules, ground rules, and where values show up in everyday life
- How to Sort Your Cards: six simple steps
- The Quick Sort: a no-scissors page that lists all 36 values with tick circles
- My Top 5: narrow down to 10, then 5, and write what each one looks like for you
- Mine, or Borrowed?: where each value came from (family, friends, culture, online, you) and whether it still fits
- Am I Living It?: a quick check for each top value, plus small steps that count
- Which Choice Fits My Compass?: a decision helper that holds two options up to your top 5
- Values Tug-of-War: what to do when two values pull different ways, with a worked example
- Who I Am Right Now: a snapshot page, written in pencil, because people change
- When I Went Off Course: a no-shame page for when you didn't act like your values, with guilt vs. shame explained
- A Letter to Future Me: with starters and an "open on" date
- Keep It Close: three wallet cards and a bookmark for your top 5
- Before You Go: keeping it going, a short note for grown-ups using it with a teen, and when to get more support
- Card backs, plus a separate double-sided card file
