[quote=Anonymous]It was so hard to tell my third grader this morning. Kid is worried about Trump having his hand on the nuclear trigger and starting World War III. I hadn't told him about this -- he picked it up at school. I reassured him that I didn't think this would happen. Kid is also worried about what the election will mean for black people (there are many at his school) and for Jewish people. We hadn't talked about any of this, so I know the kids are talking about it at school. I was feeling devastated myself but tried to tell him we'd be safe, that this is how democracy works, that we will keep trying to make the world a better place. Deep breath. [/quote]
