‘GMA’ Laments ‘Election Stress’ on Children Because of the Presidential Campaign

‘People are very upset about what their choices are and what they should be doing about it’

ROBACH: "And speaking of that, we are all adults and we're feeling stressed but our children are watching too. I had three around the TV last night and I know, Matt, you’re not just a political analyst, you’re a father of four and this is having a real impact on them as well."
DOWD: "I have ten brothers and sisters too and this is having impact on everybody. What's happened is that the patterns of behavior that people have now watched in their adult leaders is not a good pattern of behavior that’s been reflected I think in our children in this. And the normalization of sort of all the things that we tell our kids, 'Don’t call names. Don’t get angry,' they’re seeing in their leaders and it's not a good thing."
ROBACH: "I had my daughter yelling at the TV last night. She was reacting emotionally."
