My husband and I insisted that our children were old enough to clean their rooms and make their beds. But they thought   11 . My complaints, even self-justified(自有道理)  12 , were always landing on   13  ears. Very often a whole hour’s scolding would end up with their   14  into tears. I felt very frustrated. I realized I needed to   15  my method of “mothering”.
One day when they were at school, I spent some time tidying their rooms. On their desks, in plain  16 , I left the cards: “Dear Bill(the other card was   17  to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the Room Fairy.”  18  arriving back, the children were   19  excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy   20  
for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and   21  asking them to play a certain violin  22 . Each day, thank-you notes would be written differently to keep the ideas   23 
Sometimes the Room Fairy would propose a little   24 : “If you can finish your homework and go over your lessons before dinner, I’d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in   25  of well-done jobs the day   26 .
  27  I can’t remember how long “the Room Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were age appropriate, we used various versions of Post-Its (贴条). The bathroom mirror became the   28  centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be   29 .
We all benefited from and  30  the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true advantage of the Room Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication.
