Talking on the phone

Hotel california

Hi

Just wondered if anyone on this forum has issues talking on the phone.  My 14 year old hates speaking to his relatives on the phone.  When he does it usually consists of Yes and No answers to questions his relatives put to him.   Needless to say that the conversations grind to a halt very quickly.  

Look forward to hearing your experience with small-talk.

  • My son doesn't like talking on the phone at all and will not answer it. We have a code where if it is me I ring and let the phone ring about 4 times. I then put the phone down and ring again and he will answer it. It's a bit easier now as we have number recognition on the display. I have entered all the phone numbers that we use regularly so he now knows who it is. It's so hard for him to communicate with unknown people.
