How are your kids reacting internally to current events?
Hopefully some are verbalizing their concerns to you.
Their openness depends on the closeness of your relationship.
I’m guessing that your teenagers are less communicative than your younger children.
They form their opinions in three steps: 1) What happened? 2) Friends reaction. 3) Your reaction.
It’s an uphill battle for parents because teens put great value on what their peers say and do.
Nevertheless, you must try to open a dialogue with your kids.
The best approach would be to begin by asking them what they think of the recent events in Washington.
Once you know what their understanding is, you are better equipped to construct a meaningful conversation and exchange of thoughts. LISTENING carefully is most important.
There is so much turbulence in society today.
You don’t want turbulence in your family relationships.
The most appropriate remedy is a loving dialogue.
If not today, when?
