When it comes to owning, operating and storage protocol, I will readily admit that I’m in the dark. I’ve never had to ponder the idea […]

Kids and Politics

Our kids begin learning about historical President’s and their legacies in early elementary school and continue throughout their entire school career with classes related to History and Government.  But when should parents begin discussing politics with their children?
