Harlow stayed up late and watched a little bit of the first debate with me. She decided she liked Elizabeth Warren (because she seems nice) and that going to the doctor should be free. She said she definitely wants a woman to win. I said there are also a lot of good guys running and she looked at me with her “i don’t think so” face. You know the one. She asked why Kamala Harris wasn’t there and I told her she would be in a second debate the following night. She knows Kamala Harris because she wrote a children’s book about how everyday people can be superheroes. The book has her picture and her life story in the back, which was a smart move on her part because we’ve read it together numerous times and now my 6yo feels invested. I didn’t want to keep her up a second night, but Harlow snuck into my room last night after bedtime anyway. Bernie was speaking and Harlow said, “I don’t like him.” Which is understandable since she is basing her opinion on delivery alone. And you know, the whole “he’s a man” thing 🤣 I tried to shoo her back to bed but she said, “I want to stay until I hear her voice.” So I let her hang around until Kamala spoke, which happened a few minutes later when Kamala talked about addressing a question on race since she was one of the only people of color on the stage. Harlow said, “See? NOW people are clapping.” Then she went back to bed. As a funny aside to this story, I mentioned a little bit of this exchange on twitter and got absolutely railed that I made it all up. I was like, that’s cool. You obviously don’t know my kid. She’s got her own news program 💁🏻♀️😂

The last Canadian election, my son was 8. We happened to be on vacation and he spent some time with a same-age cousin as we were sightseeing. One morning after a debate, my son hopped into the back seat of their van and asked his cousin “Who do you think won the debate last night?” His cousin looked confused. My son clarified, saying “You know, the debate for the election? On TV last night?” His cousin responded with “What’s an election?” Some kids are far more into politics than others. I think my son would make a great political analyst.

@tropical_jordan Well let’s be clear, I do not worship President Trump. That was not something I said. Of course I don’t think children in tiny cells is ok and obviously we differ on what is exactly happening at the boarder and again, that’s ok. My point was just that we don’t badmouth anyone. I surly wasn’t a President Obama fan but we all made it through his presidency without any name calling around here and no, I will not encourage my children to dislike someone because they disagree with them.

@sarah_van_camp Not immune from criticism. I can discuss the good, the bad and the ugly with my boys while not being disrespectful to our president. My children understand that the president will do what they feel is best for our country. We may not agree with all of those decisions but there’s no president in history that has made every single American happy. We’ll continue to pray for and support whomever our president is.

@bringingup_boys Do you distinguish between “badmouthing” (which to me brings the ideas of gossip and negativity for the sake of it) and pointing out qualities or actions that are not in line with your values? It seems you hold great regard for the position of the president, which I respect, but I also think it’s important to avoid putting people on a pedestal that immunes them from criticism.

@bringingup_boys what is your response to him bad mouthing others non stop? His constant tweeting / name calling? Do you think its appropriate as an alleged leader, to mock disabled people and condemn EVERY single person that doesn’t agree with him? I teach my kids that someone like that is never to be praised or looked up to, ever. I don’t care what position they hold.

My five year old daughter simply says “No” repeatedly when she sees Donald Trump on TV. I feel her more in that moment than any other. We live in Georgia and she loved watching Stacey Abrams speak when she was running for governor. She still gets excited when she sees her on TV. Kids get it. They get when someone is nice and when someone is mean.
