Dear Claire,

I don't enjoy using the phone! It makes me very nervous to call my friends because an adult might answer. What should I do?

Tara

Dear Tara,

A good way to beat nervousness is to know what you want to say before you make the phone call. You can say, “Hello, this is Tara. Could I speak to Nelly?” If your friend isn't at home, then you can say, “Would you tell her that I called? Thank you.” Practice these loud until you feel comfortable to say them, and try to be calm before you call. Good luck!

Claire
