Yep, another election season is upon us. And my 7 year old already had questions at the dinner table tonight…

Last night’s presidential debate brought up some important conversations from my two boys. Even though they are only 8 and 11 and did not watch the whole debate, they still saw clips and memes on social media and will likely overhear discussion about it as this election season evolves. I know it can be difficult to talk to your child about politics and current events, but it’s so important they learn about these big issues from you and not on social media or a friend on the school bus. The good news is that Bend Health has got your back. In our upcoming webinar, we’ll be teaching parents and caregivers what age and stage to introduce your child to current events and how to best communicate with them surrounding tough topics. I’ll be sharing a conversation I had with my neighbor’s 8th-grade daughter that demonstrates how to talk to a tween about the upcoming election and answer their questions.
