Summary

Sarah gives a campaign update and we address tough political conversations we've had with other adults, before turning to how we handle these conversations with our kids. During one of the most polarizing presidential elections in an already polarized time, how do we talk to our kids about the news, our political values, and what the heck the electoral college does. Plus, we talk about our new favorite Facebook group. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
