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．
