📞 Phone Manners: Being Kind When You Call

Introduction

Phones are handy tools that let us talk to friends and family far away. Just like we say “please” and “thank you” with our words, we can use good phone manners to show respect.

1. Answer the Phone Politely

• When the phone rings, say “Hello!” with a smile.
• Use your name, like “Hello, it’s Sam.”
• This lets the other person know you’re happy to hear them.

2. Speak Softly, Like a Whispering Butterfly

• Your voice should be calm and not too loud.
• Imagine you’re talking to a tiny kitten—soft words make everyone feel comfortable.

3. Phone‑free Times

• No phones at the dinner table or during story time.
• These moments are for talking face‑to‑face, just like superheroes sharing secret plans in person.

4. Ask Before Using Someone Else’s Phone

• If you want to borrow a phone, ask, “May I use your phone, please?”
• Waiting for a “yes” shows you respect their belongings.
