News about the election is everywhere. And kids might not be old enough to vote, but they are paying attention. When it comes to discussing politics with kids, what's the best way to inform but also leave room for them to form their own views and opinions?

Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers, hosts of the podcast "Pantsuit Politics," give us some advice on tackling tricky issues, helping kids find reliable media sources, and raising engaged citizens.

This segment aired on October 30, 2024.
