One of the biggest challenges for parents these days is managing their children’s use of electronic devices. Devices are the source of many power struggles for modern families. As a parent or caregiver, it’s your responsibility to set limits. Every family’s values and schedules are different, so limits on devices look different from one family to another.
An election year is a wonderful time to teach children about the electoral process and issues being debated, such as immigration, terrorism, and healthcare. The election process presents parents with a plethora of unique opportunities to teach core social-emotional skills, such as empathy, emotion management, and social problem-solving while addressing topics such as accepting differences, dealing with gossip, bullying, and name-calling.
