From the way the child envies the hawker, the gardener, and the watchman, we can guess that there are many things the child wants to do because of the likings but ends up doing something completely different.
Make a list of the do’s and don’ts that the child doesn’t like. The first line is done for you.
The child must come home at a fixed time | The child must not get his clothes dirty in the dust. |

Now add to the list your own complaints about the things you have to do, or must not do.
The child must | The child must not |
1. obey his elders | be late to bed |
2. take his breakfast on time | waste his time with friends |
3. must complete his homework | eat junk food daily |
4. be always polite | spoil his dress |
