My oldest is not yet old enough to really understand the concept and is not yet being taught this yet either (in daycare/preschool). So for me its about as simple as the Bluey episode.
But what about the comrades with older kids? What's your a messaging broadly, but also specifically for this election?
I've been surprised how much my upper grade schooler pick up from osmosis of just being around without needing to have a "talk." We live in a super blue area, one of Kamala's biggest wins. So, between what he hears at home and at school, he knows Trump getting elected is bad on some level and I've told him to be understanding if any of his classmates are taking it particularly hard (he's literally the only white kid in his class). He doesn't really get policies or any of that yet outside of like environmentalism is good, wars are bad kind of thing and I doubt many of his peers do either.
His most advanced political belief might be that the anarchy A is a cool symbol and he has left it as chalk graffiti around the neighborhood and on the public art space near his weekly art class.
So, honestly, outside of encouraging him to have compassion for his friends and telling him that we're probably going to even more protests than we have been, I haven't said much to him.
We are all born anarchists, this I believe to be true, haha. The middle schoolers where I'm at have placed the in various locations. The one that's lasted the longest is the one smudged into the large trash bin out back.
