Learning a procedure to respond appropriately to impulses is described on the link at http://www.marvinmarshall.com/impulsemanagement.html.

Level C for COOPERATION is in green, as is Level D. Although the goal for young  people is to strive for level D motivation, either of these two levels is acceptable.

Level C for CONFORMITY is in YELLOW to remind people to reflect—to be cautious (as in a yellow traffic signal)—before engaging in an activity suggested by a peer. This is especially the case when the suggestion will lead to inappropriate or irresponsible behavior.

Having a visible reminder, as the cards, assists young people to make responsible choices. The reverse of the cards has the visual for  an impulse control technique.
