Have you ever tried talking politics with your teen, only for it to spiral into a heated argument—or leave you wondering, “Where did they even get these ideas?!” It’s frustrating when their opinions feel so different from your own, and you worry they might be heading down the wrong path. But, no matter how hard you try to talk reason into them, nothing seems to get through.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—I hear this from parents all the time. So, what can you do? 🤔

Fortunately, I have Lindsey Cormack, an Associate Professor of Political Science with me today. Lindsey specializes in helping teens think critically and engage thoughtfully with the world around them. She’s even written the book on it: How to Raise a Citizen. Lindsey is here to share practical strategies to turn those tricky political conversations into meaningful—and maybe even peaceful—discussions.
