- “Self-Discipline Check-In,” an 8-question reflection page
- A 12-task choice board in four categories, with tasks like drawing a comic of yourself saying “no” to a distraction and “yes” to your goal, or choosing one small task and finishing it completely without stopping
- Classroom and counseling guides and a printing guide
- A list of all 20 messages; 56 pages in all
A look inside

Grade fit
Think of the set as self-discipline affirmation coloring pages with SEL reflection built in; the slow, detailed coloring makes them mindfulness coloring pages too. It is a good fit for homework-habit lessons, study hall, or the weeks before a big project is due. The check-in then asks students to reflect in writing. The set fits Grades 2–8.
