How should I intervene after seeing another parent buying drugs at our kids’ school?
I mentioned to my 7-year-old daughter that I was going to vote soon, and she asked a lot of questions that have sparked a periodically recurring conversation about politics. She’s interested in going with me to the polls and mad that she can’t vote until she’s 18. It’s clear that she understands this stuff is important, but obviously, the details and nuances require a lot of explanation.
While the Keatons aren’t a real family, their experiences as they relate to politics ring familiar for parents across the country who find themselves stunned when their progeny develop worldviews that could not be any more different than their own. Regardless of what you do or don’t share with your daughter about government and culture, she is exposed to a world that is even bigger than the 1980s pre-smartphone era that was the backdrop to Alex’s embrace of Reaganomics.with our children.
Instead of being mum about your political views, explain them to her while also being clear that it is OK to be friends with people whom you can respectfully disagree with. Best of luck with the first of many long, long conversations!We have four kids: an 11-year-old, 9-year-old twins, and a 7-year-old. As is often the case, we meticulously kept a record of every moment of our eldest child’s infancy, along with a detailed scrapbook and tons of pictures.
Unfortunately, the 7-year-old, who has long since believed we favor her siblings, has come to realize that we don’t have the same sort of record of her life and is pissed that we don’t “love her as much” as her older siblings.
