Parents don't always realize how kids are affected by election time. Watching Kid Correspondent, YouTube Original videos is a way to help them process current events. We can see how even very young children can absorb election stress in this video of Abby that went viral in 2012. The toddler is crying. When her mother asks her why, she says that she just can't stand "Bronco Bama and Mitt Romney" anymore.

Her mother comforts her saying that the election will soon be over. Right now, we're all feeling a bit like Abby even though it's eight years later and the names on the ballot have changed. If we're tired, our children probably feel the same way. That's why it's important to help them understand what's going on.

Fortunately, Soul Pancake has created a great tool for parents and kids which they've shared through YouTube Originals. The media company has filmed four episodes of Kid Correspondent. Kid presenters explain tough concepts in ways that other kids can understand.

The topics include making decisions, how to disagree in a healthy way, why kids' voices matter, and voting. The content is aimed at kids, but their parents may benefit from it as well. It will make for some interesting dinner conversation.

Riah is the host of the show and we follow her journey learning about adult topics.  Celebrities like Kristen Bell, Mandy Moore, Rainn Wilson, Soledad O’Brien, Robin Roberts, Lisa Loeb, Rosanna Pansino and more help answer some of her tough questions. Each video features an older kid who's a role model and ends with a dance party.

The series is produced by Golriz Lucina and Julie Merson for Soul Pancake, a division of Participant Media. Participant has created a year long civic engagement campaign and since its founding in 2004, the media company has been dedicated to inspiring positive social action.

Kid Correspondent is how the company hopes their message reaches children. The objective is admirable since kids are the future--how they choose to engage will shape the world.

We haven't been able to track Abby down to get her take on this election. She must be about 12 or 13 this year and understand a lot more now than she did then. In fact, she's  the right age to watch Kid Correspondent. Does she still just want the election to end as soon as possible? Maybe this year Abby has her own ideas about how the world.
