Aloha,
 
Circuit Court Judge Michael A. Town sees the terrible results of ice abuse in his courtroom almost every day.  We would like to share with you and your family these important suggestions to help keep your child from becoming another casualty in the ice epidemic.
 
1.  Know your child's friends.  Encourage your child to bring friends to your home.  These friends will often be involved with you and your child for the rest of your lives.
 
2.  Visit your child's school.  Let your child know that you are interested and involved in your child's education.  As you become aware of your child's school environment, you are better prepared to deal with him or her effectively during the evenings and on weekends.
 
3.  Set aside time each evening when you and your child can discuss the day's events.  This will help keep you in tune with your child's thoughts and activities.
 
4.  Encourage your child to discuss with you anything of concern or interest.  Understand that there is nothing too small or insignificant for a child to discuss with you.
 
5.  Make sure your child knows daily that he or she is loved.  Consider giving your child a hug and expressing your love in words.  Ask yourself if you really like your child and if you enjoy having your child as a part of your life.
 
6.  Set consistent standards of behavior for your child.  Let him or her know that there are socially acceptable and socially unacceptable behaviors.  Make sure that you child has a clear understanding of your expectations.
 
7.  Reward and discipline your child.  Let your child know that there are consequences for acceptable and unacceptable behavior.
 
8.  Set a good example.  Make sure your child sees you displaying the type of behavior that you would want him or her to demonstrate.
 
9.  Discuss important values and attitudes with your child.  Make sure you sit with your child and discuss what motivates you to do your best.  A solid ethical grounding that sustains a parent through good and bad times will help sustain a child as well.
 
10. Share a dream.  Help your child understand that a dream shared today can be a reality someday.  By helping your child set realistic goals you will help them control their destiny in many ways.

WORDS OF WISDOM:
 
MOST PEOPLE FAIL TO REALIZE THAT IN LIFE, IT IS NOT HOW MUCH MONEY YOU MAKE, IT IS HOW MUCH MONEY YOU KEEP.
 
EVERY DAY OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES FOR A NEW BEGINNING.
 
FOR YESTERDAY IS BUT A DREAM, AND TOMORROW IS ONLY A VISION, BUT TODAY, WELL LIVED, MAKES EVERY YESTERDAY A DREAM OF HAPPINESS AND EVERY TOMORROW A VISION OF HOPE.  - Sanskrit Proverb
 
"WHAT LIES BEFORE US AND WHAT LIES BEHIND US ARE SMALL MATTERS COMPARED TO WHAT LIES WITHIN US."  - Henry David Thoreau
 
"THE UNEXAMINED LIFE IS NOT WORTH LIVING."  - Socrates
 
"LIFE IS THE ONLY REAL TEACHER.  IT OFFERS MANY EXPERIENCES, AND IF EXPERIENCE ALONE BROUGHT WISDOM AND FULFILLMENT, THEN ELDERLY PEOPLE WOULD ALL BE HAPPY, ENLIGHTENED MASTERS."  -  Bimbo
 
"READING THE FUTURE IS BASED ON A REALISTIC PERCEPTION OF THE PRESENT.  DON'T BE CONCERNED ABOUT SEEING THE FUTURE UNTIL YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE PRESENT."  - Bimbo
 
"STAY IN THE PRESENT.  YOU CAN DO NOTHING TO CHANGE THE PAST, AND THE FUTURE WILL NEVER COME EXACTLY AS YOU PLAN OR HOPE FOR.  THERE HAVE BEEN PAST WARRIORS, NOR WILL THERE BE FUTURE ONES, EITHER.  THE WARRIOR IS HERE, NOW.  YOUR SORROW, YOUR FEAR AND ANGER, REGRET AND GUILT, YOUR ENVY AND PLANS AND CRAVINGS LIVE ONLY IN THE PAST, OR IN THE FUTURE."  - Bimbo
 
"THE SECRET OF HAPPINES YOU SEE, IS NOT FOUND IN SEEKING MORE, BUT IN DEVELOPING THE CAPACITY TO ENJOY LESS."  - Bimbo
 
"USE WHATEVER KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE BUT SEE ITS LIMITATIONS.  KNOWLEDGE ALONE DOES NOT SUFFICE; IT HAS NO HEART.  NO AMOUNT OF KNOWLEDGE WILL NOURISH OR SUSTAIN YOUR SPIRIT; IT CAN NEVER BRING YOU ULTIMATE HAPPINESS OR PEACE.  LIFE  REQUIRES MORE THAN KNOWLEDGE; IT REQUIRES INTENSE FEELING AND CONSTANT ENERGY.  LIFE DEMANDS RIGHT ACTION IF KNOWLEDGE IS TO COME ALIVE."  If you know this, that's your problem - you know but you don't act.  -  Bimbo
 
"BE WHO YOU ARE AND SAY WHAT YOU FEEL, CAUSE PEOPLE WHO MIND DON'T MATTER, AND PEOPLE WHO MATTER, DON'T MIND."  - Theodore Seuss Geisel 
 
"[PEOPLE] MAKE HISTORY, AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.  IN PERIODS WHERE THERE IS NO LEADERSHIP, SOCIETY STANDS STILL.  PROGRESS OCCURS WHEN COURAGEOUS, SKILLFUL LEADERS SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THINGS FOR THE BETTER."  -- Harry Truman

  ALL ABOUT ATTITUDE

 Attitude is more important than facts.  It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say or do.

 It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.  It will make or break a business, …a home, …a friendship, …an organization.

The remarkable thing is, you have a choice every day of what your attitude will be.

We cannot change our past, …we cannot change the actions of others, …we cannot change the inevitable.

 The only thing we can change is our attitude.  Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it!

 The Choice Is Yours!
