You make so many valid points in your list of 5 reasons your children should attend political events, and really, why should they not attend? It’s unsettling that anyone would question a parent’s right to bring their children to a political event.

Yes, exactly! I was raised to be seen not heard. We don’t believe that anymore. Thank goodness!

Thanks for your comment and support. I think kids are brilliant little people. I love the potential of our kids. They will change the world.

Kids are so smart! I am amazed that my 11 year old now asks me what informs my vote. It also makes me think hard about my voting rationale.

The earlier they learn, the better. Nothing like an 18 year old getting to vote and having NO idea what is going on

Raising voters is important for the future and instilling the importance now is a good idea.

I admire your passion for raising capable, informed children. I especially love your comment, “If you want your voice to be heard you never ever call people names. You use your brains, manners, hard work and knowledge.” So true!

My kids are still pretty young, but when they get old enough to understand I want to take them to things like this too! I think its so important they understand the political process!
