Juma alikuwa na tabia ya kutumia simu ya mama yake bila ruhusa. Mara nyingi mama yake alikuwa akikasirika na kupaza sauti, lakini siku moja aliamua kutumia njia tofauti. Alimuita Juma na kukaa naye sebuleni. Akamuuliza, “Unajua kwanini sipendi uchukue simu bila kuniambia?” Juma akajibu kwa sauti ya chini, “Nilitaka kucheza game tu.” Mama yake alimweleza kuwa kwenye simu kuna kazi muhimu na taarifa za familia. Kisha akamwambia, “Kuaminiana ni muhimu sana ndani ya familia.” Badala ya kumfokea, walikubaliana muda maalum wa Juma kutumia simu kwa ruhusa. Baada ya wiki chache, Juma alianza kuomba ruhusa kila mara kabla ya kutumia simu. Mama yake aligundua kuwa mazungumzo ya upole yalimbadilisha zaidi kuliko hasira. Funzo: Nidhamu yenye mazungumzo na kueleweshana humjenga mtoto mwenye uwajibikaji.
