So I know a lot of busy moms who are just plain not interested in politics. They get a sense there is something to worry about, but they don't know what to do about it - plus it's just not really their "thing" - so they keep out of it.
I think that mindset is dangerous.
Remember, moms rule the world.
So what can you do??
1. Be more aware of what is going on. Once a day, check in on the world.
2. Teach your children values such as integrity, work-ethic, and kindness. Also, teach them that they are not entitled to things from the government.
3. Vote. If you feel passionate about a candidate or an issue, get involved in spreading the word to your neighbors.
4. Don't be afraid to discuss politics. Even if those you talk with disagree, you can still have a civil and kind discussion where you learn from each other.
I know I'm guilty of being afraid to make a situation tense by discussing issues. But how will we ever come together with solutions to problems if we're not willing to discuss our views, learning from each other. This doesn't start at a government level. It starts with people like us.
