"I recommend having age-appropriate conversations with children about politics; children will hear about things via various technological platforms and friends, and consequently, it is important for them to speak openly with their parents," said Leela Magavi, MD, a psychologist in California.
"We can talk about how we can make a difference in government, both during and after the election," said Shannon Brescher Shea, author of "Growing Sustainable Together: Practical Resources for Raising Kind, Engaged, Resilient Children."
Brescher Shea teaches her own sons, four and seven, how to be engaged citizens by writing to lawmakers, attending rallies, and, of course, thinking about voting.
Using books to talk to her boys about how individuals - including kids - can make a difference in politics allows her to encourage civil engagement.
