Encouraging Political Awareness Among Latin Children
| Oct 02, 2008 @ 09:26 AMWhile we adults may be too absorbed trying to keep tabs with the latest political squabbles, our children are left trying to figure out what’s all these fuss is all about. Just the other day, my 7 year old kid asked “What is an election?”, it dawned to me that we parents need to take time and explain certain things and how this election can affect our lives and our nation.
By helping our children understand what is going on, we can help instill a sense of social responsibility as early as possible. Of course, what better time that the presidential elections! Instead of simply allowing them to watch the world go by, we can teach them to understand that someday they can make a difference with their votes.
I think a great way to introduce this concept to children is to make it a fun learning process for them. In our household, we encourage our children to conduct polls among family members or interviews regarding personal political views. It is of course important that the family members should be supportive in such activities. You may also take him/her along during Election Day and explain the process from a simple viewpoint. Small efforts such as these can help children easily grasp and appreciate the importance of such events.
