Forcing a child to talk on the phone, is it good or bad ?

Well....socialising in the society, family and relatives are important and it is essential to acquire knowledge and to know about trends. But it depends on your child age and mental condition. If he is less than 5 years old, there is no use in scolding or forcing him to take calls from other family members. Of course, their grandma, grandpa or whoever are loving the child and feels happy to see them talking. 

But just think in the view of the child if he is 2 or 3 years old....his perception is limited he doesn't care about others who are not around him at that instant. Sometimes even they can't remember the things and persons. But they can remember the people who are very close or other kids of same age group with whom they used to play like mother or neighbours kids. But speaking on phone calls depends on his current mood also, if the people on the other side are good at singing, storytelling, and so on they may get attention. Usually, for regular talk like...."hey kid, see here I am your uncle, speak to me! do a flip for me! do something crazy" simply they will ignore. One thing we have to understand is 2year old kids do not have any business with people living far from him unless they get fun from them. 

Then what we should do?

• There is nothing wrong in showing funny photos, videos recordings of your relatives and letting them to familiar their face, names gradually. 
• Ask your relatives to play game, music or stories with toys (if it is video call) they will get attention.
• Wait for the right moment when your kid is in a good mood to speak to others. Or show them funny phone conversation of kids with others in youtube or any.
• Other best way is making our relatives or grandparents happy by sending your child funny video recordings, photos, audios (you may have plenty of them in your mobile). 
• Ask them to visit home frequently and play with him.
• If you're worried about your relatives or their grandparents. Smoothly educate them by describing the above-mentioned things. 

What we should not do?

• This is important to note every parent. As mentioned earlier 2year old kid doesn't have any business with people who are far from him and also shouting with big voice or scolding them for not taking calls (especially kids who are under age) comes under child harassment and child-abusing. Because they are not in s stage to understand the reason behind your anger. Simply it will create a gap between you and your child.
• Do not hesitate to educate your elders (even your parents). Because there is always a generation gap between us and our parents. And they give will educate us to know things through us which they did not learn at that time.
