As a mother, I believed my children were old enough to clean their rooms. But they thought   41   . My complaints were   42   on deaf ears. Very often a whole afternoon’s shouting   43   end with their tears. I realized I needed to   44   my methods of “mothering”.

One day while they were at school, I had great fun tidying their   45  . On their desks, in plain   46  , I left the cards “Dear Bill (the other card was   47   to Sarah), your room was messy and I’m sure you like it clean. love, the House Fairy.”   48   arriving back, the children were   49   excited to receive the notes from the House Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy.   50  , there was another note waiting for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and   51   asking them to play a certain violin piece. Each day,   52   notes would be written differently to keep the ideas   53  .

Sometimes the House 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.

  57   I can’t remember how long “the House Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were older, we used various versions of Post-Its. The bathroom mirror became the   58   centre of our home. Appointments, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be posted.

We all benefited from and   59   the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true advantage of the House Fairy notes survives in our frequent and   60   communication.
