The US Government has shut down. Now what?
Take a moment to talk to your kids about what is happening with the government shutdown. Even if you don't fully understand the news for yourself, you can still have a very meaningful conversation with your children about how the government works (and doesn't work).
Conversation Tips
* Use simple and age appropriate terms* Invite them to share their opinions/concerns
* Ask them what they would do differently
* Encourage them to write a letter to their government leaders
Conversations about the government and politics are a great way to understand your child's point of view and to get a good sense of what they actually know about the US Government and its processes.
