Raising Boys & Girls

Episode 222: Hope for Election Day


Listen Later

How are you feeling today? It seems to be one filled with lots of anxiety and trepidation, for lots of us. We kept talking about what we most wanted to hear on Election Day, and so we recorded a podcast including just that! We’ve got a few parenting reminders on what it looks like to model all of these important milestones we’ve been talking about, some conversation starters to share with the kids you love AND the encouragement we needed today…and thought you might, too!


Let’s continue to pray together for wisdom for our leaders and hope for our communities. And let’s keep thinking on that wise quote about being the change we want to see in the world. Grateful to be in it with you today, whatever your political affiliations are, and hope this episode brings you some needed encouragement and hope.


Questions to ask the kids you love!


If you were elected President, what would you want to do the first few days in office?

What are some of the greatest needs in our world today?

What kind of leader would you want to be?

What would you want the new president to know is important for kids today? 

If the old saying is “Be the change you want to see in the world,” how could you be a part of the change you want to see in the world?
