Should an 11 year old text her grandma to say thank you for a present or should she ring her.?

Update:

I think you have misunderstood me. I see my granddaughter all the time as I child-mind her quite a lot and she stays over as my husband has died and now I have spare rooms. I could not attend her birthday party as no-one could pick me up or bring me home and I couldn't stay overnight as there was no room. I sent her a card and quite a bit of money. What I asked was should she have text me or rung me to say thank you for her present. I do a lot for all of them, help out with money etc.

    Ring her. Then follow it up with a text saying you enjoyed the conversation, and thanks again. But when you're talking to her on the phone, do more than just thank her. Talk about some of the activities your involved in. I know I'd love to have my grand children tell me about their soccer (football to you UKers) or swimming, what their doing on summer break. Just about anything their doing. Your grandma will love it if you call. Good Luck

    A shocking idea - the 11 year old could write a letter !

    The present was something personal, no? So why not reply in a personal way with either a handwritten personal letter or at least a phone call.

    She should learn to hand write a personal message into a card and send it in the mail a call would be nice too.

    Sending a text is impersonal and kind of rude.

    ****My response stays the same. She should learn how to send a thank you card ie manners.

    Ring her. Ring her. Ring her. Unless grandma can't hear.

    She should take her grandma some goodies and watch out for the big bad you know what.

    My parents always would make me call the family member, it's more personal that way.

    She should call her and speak to her. Or else send a handwritten thank you note.
