Habitica  helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Self Awareness: Understanding our own actions, thoughts and feelings. 

Part of exercising self-control is to be aware of our actions. Habitica tracks both good and bad behaviors and students can see how their actions have affected their avatar's level and health. Over time, students will make the connection between  their actions not only affecting the avatar and their real-life productivity and attitude. 

Self-Control: Managing our actions, feelings and behaviors. 

Habitica has a built-in reward system and students can use this to encourage good behavior. For example, students can trade in points from good habits for time playing video games, hanging out with friends, etc. In contrast, the student’s avatar loses health based on bad behaviors which will encourage the student to exercise self-control. Because of the gamified nature of the app, self-control practice is a lot more fun!
