    Parenting is a constant process of improvement.

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. It often happened that 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  center 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  60  and enjoyable communication.
