“Make-believe is belief in the making.”
“Make Believe
When I wake up in the morning
Not all is what it seems
I drift through a world of make believe
Between my real life and my dreams.
Strange Adventures from the space book
That I read the night before
Crowd in upon on my drowsiness
Through imagination's door.
Between sleeping and waking
The alarm clock's jangalang cry
Becomes the roaring fire-railed rocket
That hurls me through the sky.
My bed's a silver spacecraft
Which I pilot all alone
Whisp'ring through endless stratospheres
Towards planets still unknown.
Outside through the mists of morning
The spinning lights of cars
In my make-believe space voyage
Become eternities of stars.
Is that my mother calling something
That my dreams can't understand?
Or can it be crackling instructions
From far off Mission Command?
Gareth Owen”

“Make consequences as logical as possible. If teens drive irresponsibly, they should lose car privileges, not phone privileges. If a curfew violation occurs, make curfew one hour earlier for a week. If homework is not getting done because of video games, restrict them, not baseball. Try to make your restrictions selective and specific. Teens need a solid consequence they can feel, but they also need fun and enjoyment in their lives. If you take everything away, they have nothing to fill their cups. Young people who are running on empty will have fewer resources to use in producing good behavior.”
