Grace is here to remind you that your voice matters.

My daughter is 12 and this is the first election that she is able to sort of wrap her head around.

How can I talk to her about the election in a way that explains all the news and nastiness without totally crushing her excitement for the process?

Should we try to stay a ‘united front’ or is it okay to vote my own way?
