It has been a difficult year for many families, economically, health care issues, war, and natural disasters. Many parents encourage their teenagers to listen and understand, and ironically, many teens attempt to get their parents to engage.
What exactly do your kids know about government and how it works? During these times of struggles, it may be an opportunity to sit down and talk about how our government can work or not work for you. Many students will learn their basic guide to the U.S. Government, but how many have families sit down and discuss politics?
During the election year there seemed to be more chatter than in years past with the candidates and the influx of social media which most likely contributed to many young interested parties.
Tonight will you be watching? Will your children? Will you be able to answer their questions or can you engage in a healthy debate? No matter what your party is, being together as a family is what is most important. Many families have a combination of Republicans, Democrats, Liberals and Independents.
