The Book to Heal the Great Divide?
This book will not end the conflict between the Democrats and Republicans. The Right and Left, the Red and Blue, or the Conservatives and the Progressives.
Reading this book will probably not help you explain to your kids the stubbornness, stupidity, and stridency of the political scene. (If you know how to do that, there are national TV outlets that could use you!)
In fact, reading this book and using the ideas here to talk to your kids is likely to cause as many problems and questions as it solves.
However, using the ideas in this book and this setting of the election year gives you the advantage of talking to your kids and instilling character-filled thoughts in a time and place where you have some influence and control.
Deal with your kid’s questions now or they will pop up at school where teachers and classmates control the conversation. Or the questions may come up when your kid is even farther from your influence when they are at college.
A friend told me his 14-year-old daughter came home with a survey to be filled out by parents. It asked questions about guns and gun control, gender and racial prejudice, abortion, and climate change, My friend immediately questioned why the school had the right to any of this information, but his wife filled out the survey and gave it to the daughter to take back to school.
The daughter took one look at the answers and said she couldn’t turn in that survey. She explained that none of the answers were “PC” compliant and she’d never hear the end of it from her teachers and classmates.
Now, I’m not telling you something you don’t know. You know there is a cultural tsunami coming even if it hasn’t reached your community yet.
Because of your upbringing, your parents, and possibly your church, or a life-changing experience, you may have something to hold onto when the tsunami of cultural change crashes. What of your kids?
You can teach your kids character – the kind of good character that make a difference in his or her life.
Maybe you are already doing it -- doing it like your parents did. You are counting on your good example and some lectures to be enough. But the world and the prevailing culture have changed. You may need to be more proactive and preemptive than your parents were.
You are busy. Your kids are busy. But the tsunami won’t wait. You may not know when it will smash into the shoreline, but you know it’s coming.
If you ever needed a sign that it’s time to double down on character building you’ll be seeing them pop up on lawns, on the internet, and on TV during this year, Every campaign sign will remind you that this year, you have the perfect opening to Teach Kids Character in an Election Year.
