🌿 Following What Matters: The Values Expanded Pack
 
Expanded Pack & Toolkit
 
✨ A creative, heart-centered resource for helping children and families discover what truly matters — and practice living those values in small, meaningful ways.
 
This gentle 23-page printable pack helps children explore their values — qualities like kindness, courage, respect, and curiosity — through stories, reflection, and hands-on activities. With friendly guidance from Finn, Vivian, Delaney, and the rest of Acceptance Acres™, children learn that values aren’t about perfection… they’re about returning to who we want to be, again and again.
 
Blending mindful play with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles, Following What Matters teaches kids that feelings may come and go, but values can stay steady — guiding choices with warmth, care, and clarity.
 
Inside this resource:
📖 Part 1 – Understanding Values
Child-friendly explanations of what values are, how they differ from feelings and goals, and a simple reflection to help kids notice the qualities that matter most to them.
 
💬 Part 2 – 12 Values Cards (All New)
A full new set of cards featuring Respect, Cooperation, Responsibility, Curiosity, Perseverance, Gratitude, Flexibility, Fairness, Self-Kindness, Creativity, Mindfulness, and Friendship — each with a “looks like,” “when it’s hard,” and “try saying” prompt.
 
🦊 Part 3 – Mini Stories
Three short stories featuring Finn, Delaney, Avery, and Vivian practicing their values through real-life challenges — like forgotten promises, brave small steps, and kindness in the middle of a mess.
 
🎨 Part 4 – Creative Practices
Hands-on crafts and activities such as The Values Trail Map, My Values Lantern, Small Choices Big Heart, and the “Choose Again” Stone — designed to help kids live their values in everyday moments.
 
🌿 Part 5 – Reflection & Connection
Family-friendly reflection prompts for kids and parents to explore how values showed up this week — and how to return to them with gentleness.
 
📅 Part 6 – Printable Tools
A weekly values tracker, parent guidance page, and a bonus coloring page featuring Vivian and Finn lighting the forest path.
 
✨ Why it matters:
