Before you scold someone, say the reason first 🔔
Old Experiment
It seems there was an old experiment with mice.
No Warning
The mice that got a shock with no warning were always nervous.
Bell First
The mice that heard a buzzer before the shock could stay calm when there was no buzzer.
⚡ TRY IT
Be the mouse: cheese time!
Pick a cage, press start, and tap to eat cheese for 12 seconds.
Nom nom… 🧀
Nom… is it coming? 😰
🔔 The bell! Stop and wait…
⚡ Zap!! 💦
Cheese time is over!
😰 You never knew when it would come. You were nervous the whole time.
😌 With the bell, you knew when to wait. The rest of the time, you could relax and eat.
😰 Nervous at the end

Reason First
When you scold someone, say the reason first.
