A New Hotline Offers Advice and Encouragement from Kindergartners

If you need a quick pick me up or just want to be overloaded with some cuteness, a new hotline is here to help!

"PepToc", courtesy of children at West Side Elementary in Healdsburg, California, is full of advice, encouragement, and pep talks from kids to help you feel better.

The line was set up with the help of teachers Jessica Martin and Asherah Weiss who wanted to share the kids' positivity with the world.

When you call "PepToc," you are greeted with a message saying:

“If you are feeling mad, frustrated or nervous, press 1. If you need words of encouragement or life advice, press 2. If you need a pep talk from kindergartners, press 3. If you need to hear kids laughing with delight, press 4. For encouragement in Spanish, press 5.”

If you want to give the hotline a call yourself, just dial 707-998-8410
