Politics & Parenting: Keeping the Peace at Home

Politics + family = š„ ...and not the good kind.
In this episode of Good Mom, Lindsay and Sunny tackle one of the trickiest topics for any household: how to navigate political differences without losing your mindāor your relationships. Whether itās intense dinner table debates, unsolicited āeducationalā books from grandparents š¬, or just trying to keep the peace around the kids, this conversation is all about keeping love front and center... even when you completely disagree.
š¬ Lindsay shares:
āI donāt do hate. I do listening, I do local action, and I focus on creating the kind of world I actually want to live in. And if people think Iām ācrazyā for that? So be it.ā
š¬ Sunny adds:
āWe can teach our kids the structure of our governmentāwithout the spin. They donāt need propaganda. They need tools to think for themselves and follow their hearts.ā
