You may have noticed how your kids love to push things and see what happens after doing so. They start getting to the phone and press buttons. Are they ready to make that call? If they are, then here are a few things that you may want to consider.

1. Create rules. Have them help in creating the rules. Rules should include when to use the phone and for how long and when they could answer calls.

2. Practice. Teach them how to dial, hung up and answer phone calls.

3. Supervise them. Give them freedom but always make sure that they are saying the right things and are being polite.

4. Prepare for emergencies. Teach them how to dial the local police station and 911. Tell them that prank calls will merit them ample sanctions.
