My husband and I insisted that our children were old enough to clean their rooms and make their beds. But they thought  41 . My plaints, even self-justified shouting, were always landing on  42_   ears.  Very often a whole hour’s scolding would end with their   43  into tears, I felt very frustrated (沮丧的).I realized I needed to   44  my method of “mothering”.
One day when they were at school, I spent some time  45  their rooms. On their desks, in plain       46  , I left the cards: “Dear Bill (the other card was   47   to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the Room Fairy.”   48  arriving back, the children were       49  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 _    50  for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and   51  asking them to play a certain violin   52  . Each day, thank--you notes would be written differently to keep the ideas   53 .
Sometimes the Room Fairy would propose a little   54 : “If you can finish your homework and       55  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   56 of  well done jobs the day      57  .
  58  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   59  centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be posted.
We all benefited from and   60 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 munication.
