This election was the first time I actually got involved, canvassing door-to-door. It’s funny but I was always the “shy” one growing up–I even made my younger sister call when we’d order a pizza–so it was a pretty big moment for me to actually walk up to a stranger’s door and initiate a political conversation. I thought it was important to my children that they see both my husband and I involved in the election process. My husband waited to vote on election day until my daughter came home from school because she really wanted to go and actually see how to vote.

I agree, this election did get people talking.
And I think it got more people interested in the candidates and the issues, and in some areas got more people to vote.

I agree with you that involving your children in current events is important for their future development. I have 5 kids, most are now grown, but they are very active in whats going on. In addition, they have become somewhat of leaders in their niches because they look outside of their little worlds. I feel most of this is due to the fact that they have grown up with a desire to know what is going on around them. You are doing a great job with your children.

This election was the first time my boys have been old enough to form opinions and really understand what the election was all about. It was, and still is, a wonderful thing! JulieÂ´s last blog post..I Got the IZEA Insider Job

This election did the exact opposite for our family. We had such opposite views that we couldn’t talk about the election without one of us getting quickly aggravated.
