PARENTS CORNER
How to help prepare your student for elections
|
It is important you talk to your student on why voting is important.
With freedom comes responsibility and voting is a responsibility.
Prepare
them: Familiarize them with democracy in our country, and talk about how voting works. Stress the importance of everyone having a right to vote.
Review the candidates and issues: Go over real issues you think might interest your child. Remember that the right to think for one's self and vote independently is an important part of the democratic process. Try to be objective in your explanation.
Follow up:
Once the elections have been completed, follow up on the issues, candidates, and results with your student.
