- Compliment her. This is a great achievement for a 6 year old and you should be proud. Let her know.
- Find out her source of knowledge. It's probably a good source, but you want to make sure that what you are telling her and what else she hears is consistent and not confusing and scary.
- Tell her the truth in concepts that she is familiar with. "Even adults sometimes say things just to get attention but that they don't really mean." "Donald Trump has said very strange things to get people to pay attention to him; I don't think most of these will happen, even if he is elected president."
- If you are friendly with the family you can ask them how they feel about this and how they communicate to their own children. The same approach may work for your daughter as well so she and her friend hear the same things.
- You probably have your own opinions about Trump, so make sure that whatever you are saying is consistent with what you think.
