Can you
believe it’s time for political debates and discussions about presidential
elections? After I updated our kids about the presidential candidates’ recent comments
and decisions, our youngest child remarked, “This is like a bad dream.” Let’s
hope the dream gets better—for us and for our children.
Young people
always offer interesting insights. Kids, no matter where they live, often surprise
us with their ideas about politics. Have a listen:
Kids may not
know everything about being president, but talking about politics is the first
step toward raising future voters. Let’s hope kids realize their voices can
make a positive difference, despite the political behaviors they see. Based on the current
political environment so far, we’d better strap ourselves in for the bumpy ride to
Election Day. Maybe during the 2016 election campaign, there'll be less bickering and more talk about solutions for the nation's problems.
Financial status, upbringing, and other personal experiences drive the
candidates’ political positions. You probably have one or two key issues that
drive the kind of candidate you’ll follow. Thinking about those topics, which of your personal
views cause you to support those issues?
