This conversation is going to be so helpful for you and your crew. And, it’s just Part 1.

  • How to Talk Politics with Our Kids, Family and Friends with America’s Gov’t Teacher, Sharon McMahon

    How to Talk Politics with Our Kids, Family and Friends with America’s Gov’t Teacher, Sharon McMahon
    Oct 29 2024
    Do you think we need to agree with people in order to respect them or befriend them? Maybe you’ve been unfriended by someone who doesn’t see eye to eye with you politically, or your kid has come from school saying disparaging things about another kid’s family because of who they’re voting for. (That’s the worst…and I’ve been there.) And why can’t we have conversations about politics at the dinner table? I’ve found the perfect person to talk about this with–Sharon McMahon, aka America’s Government Teacher, who just wrote a #1 New York Times Bestselling book called “The Small and the Mighty.” Sharon is going to guide us in how to effectively talk about politics with our kids, family, and friends. And make sure you hear her phrase for those of us who only respect or befriend people with our viewpoints. We also discuss the lack of choice in terms of candidates and a possible solution to fix it. Life Happens. Let’s Talk About It.
