Trang 1Pete shares a room with his little brother Greg and he’s having problems Listen as Pete’s friend Samuel gives him some advice.
I share a room for a while with both my brothers, so I’m an expert! There are three things
to get straight – your things, your space, and your time
First, there is your thing, make sure Greg knows what’s “yours,” what’ is “his,” and what belongs to both of you Greg will be more likely to leave your stuff alone if there are some things he can use without having to ask you
Now there’s your space Have some space off limits – like your bed, dresser, and part of the closet That way you can keep stuff like your models away from Greg Remind Greg you’ll follow these rules, too Ok, now the hardest part – your time Make clear the times
he is not to bother you, like when you’re asleep or have friends over, or when you’re doing math or you’re on the phone Keep the list short Name times you will listen Say, ‘I’ll help you with homework after supper,” or “When can play games on Sunday afternoon.” Try it I think you’ll be surprised.
