About this resource

Self-discipline is not about willpower. It is about small habits that make the right choice easier. These self-discipline coloring pages put focus, follow-through and impulse control into 20 messages students can color and keep, in the Self-Management competency for Grades 2–8.

What students practice

  • Controlling their impulses
  • Following through on their goals
  • Doing what needs to be done
  • Choosing what is right over what is easy

What’s inside these self-discipline coloring pages

  • 40 coloring pages: 10 affirmations and 10 quotes
  • “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

  • Among the 20 messages: “I control my impulses.” “I follow through on my goals.”
  • And more: “Discipline is doing it anyway.” “Do what needs to be done.”

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.
