Motivations

Sibling rivalry is going full steam in the Leven household. There is always only one toy out of hundreds that both kids want. Both kids want to be the first on doing anything. They even copy each other's speaking so that the words could be shared.

This morning when Jackson was brushing his teeth, Norah started to play with the popper. As soon as Jackson came out of the bathroom, he wanted to play.

He asked for it. No is her answer.
He threatened for it. No is her answer.
He fought for it. Holding on and tears is her answer.
He pleaded for it. No is still her answer.

I whispered to her ear : That will make Jackson happy.
She smiled and immediately handed the popper to Jackson.

Make us happy is a powerful motivation for Norah. She always make sure: Are you happy with me?
