I am always proud to vote and I specifically appreciated the privilege in this year’s difficult presidential election. Choosing a candidate to vote for was one of the most difficult political decisions I have ever made. A few thoughts I wanted to share as they relate to our children and the lessons we teach them:

The best way to ensure that our children are able to self-reflect and check themselves for confirmation bias is to ensure that they are exposed to a variety of opinions and are given opportunities to evaluate those opinions.

There are many lessons to be learned from this election cycle. I trust that we will transmit these lessons to our children so that they continue to engage in the political process in a healthy fashion.
