816-Lancast»r Finning, Saturday, April 29,1989 The Hot Line! Elise climbed up on her kitchen stool and picked up the round knob of the lid to the small saucepan. It “rang” as she knocked it against the side of the pan and instantly it became a telephone. Now with the lid to her ear, her imagination whirled as she had a conversation with the lid. Later that same evening, this one and a half year old entertained herself at a telephone booth while waiting patiently for her daddy’s meeting to end. Parents with older children tell me that this is just the beginning of the use of the hot line. I must admit my own addiction to it in my teen years. While the telephone is just an accepted convenience in many of our lives, the telephone also repre sents a lifeline to information, help, and comfort to children when they are alone.

Rodgers Berks Extension Home Economist use the telephone and what to say when a call comes in? Calls to parents and friends provide answers to questions and maybe needed reassurance when parents are at work. They also help prevent distress and boredom. When emergencies arise, the phone pro vides immediate contact with adults who can help. Whether parents are both working or not, telephone skills are a life skill that should be learned as early as possi ble. The phone can also be a source of fear. Obscene phone calls and questioning by strangers some times frighten children or adults who are home alone. Children who improperly give out information may be placing themselves at risk for assault or theft. For all of these reasons, it is essential that children have access to emergency phone numbers; know how to make emergency calls; and know how to respond appropriately to callers. It is important that your child understand the proper procedures for making emergency calls. Cre ate a list of emergency numbers and post it by your phone. This list should include the fire department, police department, poison control center, ambulance, doctor, work numbers and nearby neighbors or friends who could help. Talk to your child about situations that represent emergencies. Discuss what you would like your child to do in each situation and who, if anyone, should be called. Know ing how to handle such situations and who to call will give your child confidence when alone. If you already have a listing of emergency phone numbers listed, check to see that they are still accu rate. For example, fairly recently the Lancaster poison control num ber changed to 531-6111, Are there other numbers on your list that have changed? Also, instructions need to be provided on how to answer the phone whether home alone or not. Begin by saying only “hello.” Pro vide no information to the caller. Do not tell anyone you are alone. Offer to take a message and write it down. Be polite It is important that your child not lie.
