Elections can create tension between family members. But we can discuss politics, share our positions, and engage in dynamic conversations with our children without blow-ups and slammed doors! Here are some election-week tips!

Election Week Tips
- Don’t expect complete agreement
- Avoid negative verbal exchanges
- Stop if tempers flare
- Ask for clarification
- Remain calm
- It’s okay to press pause
- You are raising young adults
When children understand that home is a safe place to express their opinions and discuss important political topics, they gain the confidence to participate in the election process as adults.
