My nephews are 4-6 years old. My Godson just turned 7. The six and seven year old showed interests in Donald Trump because they liked him. Well, in all honesty, they liked him because they heard a lot of good things about him from their moms and dads. So this is understandable.
My nephew and my Godson both asked us if the Mexican kids would be deported. We told them no, and they moved on.
I feel sorry for parents with college age children over the last year. Can you imagine how embarrassing and how much of a failure you must feel like to have your children cry over an election? To demand "safe spaces" because they are "triggered" by different ideas? To have your children promoting segregation and racism? To wear safety pins when their side loses an election? To be too childish to attend school and to demand Play Doh when they lose?
While you can feel for these parents...you really can't excuse their utter failure at parenting.
Most of what a kid hears can be used as a teaching tool.
Current events was discussed at our dinner table every night. By the time they were in middle school they joked that they better have an opinion about the topic, or they got no dessert.
All kids want and mostly expect fairness. Accepting it is not always so is a hard lesson to learn. Plus deciding what is fair and resolving conflict can take days of conversation.
Hillary tried this in a commercial against Trump with the kids watching clips of Trump . It was a losing tactic then and it is still one now.
Trump is a successful businessman and great family man better role model than a career politician that made their money off the taxpayers and off bribes from foreign dictators and corrupt bankers .
I actually think this country needs to move on now. The election is over, and I know some people still are battling with their PTSD due to election, lol, it is seriously move on time.
considering how ad hominem this election was, you should know that both candidates were scrutinized and their lives dissected far more than any other candidates in history.
Certainly, there are many things I don't agree with that Trump says or does, and No, as a woman, I am not attracted to man like Donald Trump (has nothing to do with his looks). But who am i kidding? I aint look for a husband material in a president, and i don't necessarily believe a nice person should be the requirement of presidency. In all fairness, I just want to give him a fighting chance, just like my loved ones have given me despite my own flaws and transgressions.
My boys (nephews and my Godson) are still interested in little boy stuff, (toys, video games, hiking, outdoors..) they can care less about politics. For the most part, they are good kids who have friends from all background. They can be annoying sometimes, for example, they would tell the other kids they might be deported. This doesn't mean the family won't discipline them. This is also the perfect opportunity to teach them the differences between legal residents and illegals; this is the opportunity to teach them law is still important in this country.
I don't really worry about my nephews and my Godson. They at very young age, already have done a lot of volunteer works, and they are compassionate good kids. In order to survive in this world, they have to be tough, and competitive. At the same time, they need to learn the art of working with all kinds of people and they need to learn how to protect themselves.
I don't really worry about other people's children, none of my businesses.
No Allen, people should have to earn their way. When people ride for free they aren't really riding for free they are living off the hard work of others. Imagine if you and your brother both got an allowance, but only you had to do chores to earn that allowance, while he played video games.
Yes Johnny, there really is such a thing as Radical Islamic Terrorism.
No seriously all kidding aside, I am actually kind of grateful that my son's old enough now to see all of the ridiculousness from the left. He is only 13 and embarrassed for these college kids crying like kindergartners and how they have carried on over the last several years. That alone was enough to make him leery of the progressive "everything is free" and "you are entitled to everything" mentality.
