Talking about voting with kids can seem challenging, especially for the younger ones. Where do you start? Would they understand? Would they remember? Is it realistic, they are just kids… All these thoughts are normal and totally valid. But civic duties are better taught young, as a “normal” process of life, so they stick to it when it’s time for them to take on their own civic duties.

The best way for a child to remember a lesson is to create a memory around it! Nothing sticks more in their mind than a fun, rich outing with Mommy and/or Daddy. ” I will always remember how much fun it was to visit the Capitol with my dad!

Make sure YOU vote, and that they know about it! Kids learn best when you lead by example. So no matter the challenges you face when voting this year, make sure to talk about it. They should know that democracy is a right, and that it is not always easy but it is worth fighting for!
