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.

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. Statements such as “My
father can’t come to the phone

right now,” or “May I lake a mes
sage” represent truthful and help
ful statements. When faced with
persistent questioning or obscene
phone calls, your child should
hang up and call the parent You
can help your child practice these
skills by role-playing situations
such as pretending you are a sales
person calling to check a delivery
date or a friend from church and
you want some information about
a meeting.
By identifying and posting
important phone numbers, helping
your child understand what to do
and who to call in various situa
tions and how to respond to phone
sails, your child will gain confi
dence in the ability to handle situa
tions.

to discuss general phone usage.
Establish some general rules con
cerning the use of the phone such
is how long one can be on the
phone and when your child is
expected to call you.
The other reminder for each of
us as parents is to be a good model.
Compliment your children when
they have done a good job in
reporting a phone message or have
handled a phone call well.
For now, it’s just fun hearing my
little chatterbox “dial up” her
mommy on the pan lid. But, it
won’t belong before she’s hanging
up the lid and dialing her grammy
and grandpap long distance on the
real thing. One can only hope this
love for the phone doesn’t con
tinue through the teen years or is
that genetically passed along too!
