I know you’ve heard. Everyone has! We are saturated with political ads, signs, commercials, phone calls, and text messages. It can only mean one thing. It is election season. Oh Goodie! But how do you talk to your kids about the election? Well today, we discussed it. I won’t say we have all the answers. But we both believe in opening a line of dialogue with our kids about important things that are happening in the world and in our country. Elections certainly fall into that category.
