Tips for Talking to Kids About the 2020 Election 1. Encourage their curiosity Rather than assuming kids won’t understand issues or processes, welcoming their questions can help give them a greater understanding.... 2. Explain the right to vote For younger children, reading picture books that illustrate the process and for older kids watching YouTube videos that break down the process. Then have a discussion about it afterwards. Focus on the right to vote in a positive way. Explain to them that everyone has a voice. If getting involved isn’t possible, help them think about issues they care about and how candidates feel about related causes. 3. Display respect for all parties Giving kids a breakdown of the general ideology behind parties can help them understand why people vote one way or the other. Explain to your children the process of evaluating candidates’ policies and the impact of those policies on individuals, the environment, and the American society as a whole. 4. Prepare kids for opinions from peers Whether it’s via e-learning or in the classroom, or during a play date, kids may hear their peers talk about candidates or policies. Encourage your kids to listen with empathy. 5. Ease their concerns about particular issues Validate how they are feeling and normalize those feelings because so many other people are feeling the same way. Sometimes that’s all they need. Someone to listen and really hear them. 6. Warn kids about post-election responses While kids may hear about, witness, or participate in rallies and protests leading up to the election, it can be helpful to inform them about the potential for heightened emotions and responses. It is helpful to emphasize to them that as their parent, you’ll ensure their safety. #naplesbaysideacademy By. Cathy Cassata
