"Begin by discussing with your children that though our elected officials are often in the limelight, they are not simply celebrities. They are elected by the people, for the people and therefore, uh, kind of work for us... Teach your children that being responsible consistently over time leads to integrity - and that should be the ultimate characteristic of all elected leaders."Parents should also not shy away from talking about the failures and scandals of political leaders. Kids need to know that though we may not see the public consequences of political scandals, there are - without a doubt - personal ones. Source: Gaston (NC) Gazette
