New Teen+ Voter? 10 Great Parent "Need To Knows" (non-partisan)

Hi Parents:

Did you watch the DNC and RNC conventions?  I did.  Pretty exciting.  

Do you have a first-time voter at your home?  Are they ready to imploy one of the greatest privileges they have? 

Yes, our teens (and of course, we parents) get so busy that we don't realize that we have to plan just a bit to get them registered and able to vote on election day.

I'll never forget helping my two kids get ready/registered and up to speed on voting.  Did you know you can't take a photo inside the voting area?  Well, at least you can't where I live.  But never fear, yes, I did get my photo - which I know (ha) they will thank me for later.  

Is your child moving (or just moved) to college?  Did they just take a job in another city? 

Then THIS podcast episode of "Parenting Your "Nearly Flown"  Just. Got. Easier" is for you.  By the way, this podcast is non-partisan and our 10 great points fit everyone.

Getting them ready to vote is actually a dual-track approach.

Track One - Get them Excited About This Privilege

[1:05] 5 Ways to Get Them on a Consistent Voting Track -for life.

Find out about sample ballots, and how to encourage candidate research.  Our kids need that "buy-in" and get invested in an outcome.  Here are 5 great ways to do that.  

Track Two - Get the Registered To Vote 

[4:59] 5 Voting Details You Need to Know as it concerns your nearly-eligible voting child.  

No surprise here, every state is different, but there are some crucial points that you need to remember.  Also, we direct you to where you can find specific details about your child's new city/state and what is .  .  . and what isn't.  

It is an honor for me to have parents like you that care about teaching their kids the importance, the history, and the voting privilege that men and women fought and died for.   What a great thing you are sharing with your kids.  

Thanks for joining us today and yes, parents, We CAN Have Success in the Middle of it ALL!
