November 6 is fast approaching, which means the good, the bad and the ugly of our political process is pretty much every where we turn. How much should our kids be exposed to it all?
Moms Talk is a weekly feature on all Lehigh Valley Patches in which local parents, caregivers and other members of the community are invited to share opinions and advice on parenting topics. This week’s Moms Talk question was sparked by a recent Moms Talk essay on the Redmond Patch and relates to children and politics. Election Day is less than a month away and evidence of that is pretty much everywhere we look. Turn on the TV, and there are election ads. Head out to the mailbox and there is campaign literature.

The vice president's wife meets with educators and campaigners at the Pennsylvania State Teachers Association in Wescosville on the eve of the Oct. 9 voter registration deadline.
A slightly road-weary Jill Biden addressed fellow educators, former teachers, campaign workers and students assembled by invitation Monday at the offices of the Pennsylvania State Education Association in Wescosville. Space would only allow for a small group to see Biden, who started her day at Obama headquarters in Harrisburg and then traveled to Scranton and Hazleton before her last stop in Lower Macungie Township. It was the last stop of an important day – the eve of the final day to register to vote in the Nov. 6 presidential election.
