big election years give us the incredible opportunity to introduce our little ones to the ideas of democracy and how crucial voting is. If you are trying to find ways to talk about it, fun books to read together, games to play, and charming tee shirts you’ve come to the ideal place!
How to Talk about Voting
Some of us talk about politics all the time around the house, with friends, and with neighbors. In this case, your child might already be naturally bringing up the topic of voting and asking questions.
Others of us keep our opinions a lot more private and may have a little trickier time bringing up the topic with our little ones. first of all, keep in mind that talking about voting doesn’t have to start with confusing conversations that involve politics. You can simply talk about the act of voting in itself, with examples like which show to enjoy or what everyone wants for dinner.
