And, they are just old enough to answer the phone sometimes.

Quite honestly...Sadly, kids today really need this. Quite honestly, I will have to pay attention the next time my kids answer the phone. They don't usually answer it, because we have caller id, and if they don't know the person, they don't answer (nor do I). Most of the time if someone is calling the house phone, its a telemarketer. Or one of our parents, in which case we do answer it.

I think you make an excellent point that phone communication has fallen down the list of common practices for kids. I will forever be thankful to my parents for teaching me how to make a call and answer the phone. and baby makes 4https://www.blogger.com/profile/10478383540383527380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4109556486849297351.post-9276820089742730022013-08-15T19:45:25.575-04:002013-08-15T19:45:25.575-04:00Thanks, Chris!Thanks, Chris!Lisa @ The Golden Spoonshttp://www.the-golden-spoons.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4109556486849297351.post-24662485423297698962013-08-15T18:00:40.277-04:002013-08-15T18:00:40.277-04:00You are SO right about this... such a great idea ...You are SO right about this... such a great idea to really teach specifics to our kids on how to converse on the phone!
