The 2016 presidential race is already shaping up as one of the strangest in history. Every day, an army of pundits dissects its bewildering dynamics. But none thus far have addressed the crisis facing millions of American parents: What to do when your young child brings up Donald Trump.
This is why we have prepared this easy-to-follow, six-step guide.
1. Confront the Inevitable
Face it, you cannot insulate your child from Donald Trump. Even if you could somehow convert your home into a no-Trump zone (by disabling every single electronic device, blacking out the windows, and hustling everyone into the root cellar) your kid would inevitably hear about Donald Trump at school, within the homes of less vigilant friends, or at your local casino.
For many, the natural impulse will be to distract your little one from this new preoccupation by dropping a large ceramic bowl on the floor, or yelling “Hey look—it’s Han Solo, and he just parked the Millennium Falcon right outside our house!â€
Your kids will eventually pick up on this avoidance, which will only stoke their fascination with Donald Trump.
2. Don’t Panic

Young children react more to your attitude than your words. The first time your daughter one approaches you to ask about Donald Trump, simply take a few deep breaths and, if necessary, half a valium. Next, walk to the refrigerator and pretend to be looking for the fresh ginger root while you pour some wine into a coffee mug.

What a stupid article.
Does the Globe have any advice as to how I can convert the fire-breathing MOONBATS in my family into normal Americans??
Maybe you can have Ted Cruz’s father talk to them....

How about, “You should emulate him in his hard work and unflagging patriotism, kids!”
Just tell that, “he’s our next president.” Very short, and to the point.
Or how to talk to your kids about BJ Clinton and his enabling “wife”?
What to tell the kids about Trump??
Tell them the truth.
That if someone disagrees with them then they should call them :
fat, ugly, stupid, a foreigner, a criminal, bimbo, idiot, weak, lame, cheater, p..y, ....whatever comes to mind...just like our hero.
The important thing is they win no matter how far in the gutter that they must slink to get what they want.(and given that Trump is 100% sure to be the next POTUS we know that it is the best advice) they must do it.
We want winners, that is all that counts. And Trump has no chance of losing...
....unless those bad guys cheat to beat him...but if he loses he will call them out for cheating again...we want a fighter....that’s all that counts, win or lose..
But as long a Trump calls them for what they are we all win no matter who runs the country, even if its Bernie.
Tell your kids that our forefathers sacrificed much for our country.
Currently I am reading John Adams by McCullough. The sacrifice made by this man and others is outlined.
Now we have greedy, self-serving power-hungry rude, crude egomaniacs seeking the office that our founders risked their lives to guarantee.
Tell your children that there are still patriots and do not be dissuaded by fools.
Damn funny article actually!
You tell them that is they misbehave, The Donaldman will come and take them away
I was going to try to top that reply, but I can’t. Well done.
One more Leftist type article, using the children to advance an agenda.
I can’t wait to watch the “Conservatives” here buy in.
Drugs and alcohol is setting a very poor example for the children but then that’s to be expected from a lib. Enough with all the editorializing. Just report the facts and nothing more. Naw, that takes too much work. It’s easier to spew out whatever it was the authors post on their facebooks.
Stupid Democrats! See, this nest of wipers is where so many here were trying to tell us is the home of ‘America’s football team’.
Tell your kids he has spent his life pro-abortion and even pro-partial birth abortion, he’s for common core tonight (who knows tomorrow), tell them he will break our back further by the financial strain of deporting and re-importing illegal aliens only to give them citizenship in the end (makes sense?), tell them you are a weak and feckless human for supportint him.
No need on the latter, they’ll figure it out soon enough.
