Sihlala sisiva ibinzana elithi "kufuneka uthethe nje" ngokubhekisele kwizilwanyana zasekhaya, ngakumbi izinja. Kodwa inyani kukuba izinja ziyakwazi ukunxibelelana njengabantu, kuphela ukuba ziyayisebenzisa zisebenzisa ulwimi eyahlukileyo. Ukuhamba komzimba kwaye kunjalo, ukukhonkotha, yinxalenye yayo.
Ngaphandle koku, kufuneka sivume ukuba ngamanye amaxesha kunzima ukutolika le nto inja yethu izama ukunxibelelana nathi. Iya kuba lula kuthi ukuba siyayazi iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zokukhonkotha kwaye sifunda "ukuyiguqulela". Nazi ezinye zazo:
1. Ukukhonkotha kwendawo. Inja ekhusela ummandla wayo ikhupha amaxolo ngokuqhubekayo, isiba mandundu ngakumbi njengoko isoyikiswa. Oku kunokukhokelela kwimpendulo enobundlongondlongo.
2. Ixolo lokoyika. Yinde kwaye ibukhali, ifana nokubhomboloza, kwaye ihlala ihamba kunye namanyathelo ambalwa ngasemva.
3. Bark ukudlala. Ebukhali kwaye ephindaphindayo, sihlala siyibona ecaleni kokubonakaliswa komzimba okungqongqo kunye nokuxinana. Kuyafana kakhulu nokukhonkotha ngenxa yemithambo-luvo okanye unxunguphalo, kuba umdlalo uhlala uvelisa olu luvo kwinja.
4. Ukukhonkotha. Kuqhelekile kwizinja ezinengxaki yokuzahlula. Inoluhlu lwamaxolo amakhulu akhwaza kakhulu, ekugqibeleni ajika abe luhlobo lokubhomboloza okude, okulusizi.
5. Ukusongela ixolo. Sisandi esikhulu, esibukhali, esikhawulezayo nesinyanzelayo, esibonisa ukuba isilwanyana sikulungele ukusabela ngomsindo xa sisondela kakhulu.
6. Ukukhonkotha kovuyo. Oku kufutshane, kuyaphindeka kwaye kubukhali, kwaye kuhlala kuhamba kunye nokutsiba kwaye ujike ngokwakho. Ngokuqinisekileyo luhlobo lokukhonkotha inja yethu isibulisa ngayo xa singena emnyango.
Asinakulibala, kananjalo, ukugungqaIkwabonelela ngolwazi oluxabisekileyo malunga nemo yezilwanyana zasekhaya. Umzekelo, ukugquma okuphantsi kunokuba sisilumkiso sesoyikiso, ngelixa ukugquma kulandelwa kukukhonkotha okuphezulu kubonisa ukungazithembi. Ukugquma okuthambileyo, nangona kunjalo, luphawu lokuphumla nolonwabo.
