The magic of calling names part I

Mydaughter Holly. 7 years old is is very attentive except when I request her to do a chore. She seams not to hear anything even if my voice is so loud that the whole world can hear it. Do you know WHY? Let us see if you can guess.

Scene no 1. Can you wash the dishes?

Scene no 2. Holly, can you wash the dishes?

The first scene, I did not address her. I did not call her name.

On the second one, I addressed her by calling her name. And guess what, Holly is so quick to response. Ahh, there is magic in calling names. Do you noticed when someone calls your name. What do you do? How do you feel.

So, call people by their first name.

However, to know you better, what is your name?
