Seven Tips for Talking with Kids About Politics

The nonprofit More in Common asked 60 American parents across the political spectrum how they talk to their children about politics. Most parents shared that they do not talk to their children under seven about political or social issues, because they feel their children are too young to understand. For parents with children older than seven, about half reported talking to their children about politics. This holds across political lines—Democrats and Republicans are equally likely to talk or not talk to their children about political and social issues.
