How to Talk Elections with your Kids

Now that the election is over, many parents are wondering how to address the controversial and negative comments made during the campaigns. Integrative Lifestyle Medicine Specialist with Bay Care Clinic  Lynn Wagner recommends explaining how the election process works and model positive reactions. "The first thing I noticed this morning and in the days after the election is a lot of hating going on. I try to tell my kids if you go to school and kids are getting all worked up to try and remove yourself for that a bit," Wagner said. She also says if something is upsetting them, find away for them to change their frustration into making it better.
