Our understanding of power, leadership, and related ideas such as justice, fairness, equality and equity, is built long before we’re old enough to vote or participate in politics.

Perhaps your little thinker has shown leadership potential (and we don’t mean just the average bossiness). Perhaps they haven’t, but you still want them to understand the concept, so they can choose their leaders more effectively. Leadership is an important subject for any child, for a number of reasons, and one that’s actually fun to discuss.
