“Mama Drama”
Moms with children at home are at the top of the list when it comes to NEEDING a retreat!! Those with infants are easily accommodated at your retreat. We ask moms not to bring babies that are 6 months old or older. Older babies needing to move around and talk and babble just don’t work at a retreat. Don’t let a more “free spirited” mom talk you into allowing her “very compliant” 9 month old to attend. It just doesn’t work and she will miss out on most of the retreat anyway.
To avoid distractions that can really undermine the flow of the retreat, consider making these options for those with babies:
- Reserve a spot in the back of the room near the door for all moms with babies. This accommodates moms who may need to make a quick exit if the baby becomes fussy.
- Let all moms with babies know that there is optional seating available outside the room where the mom could still listen to the speaker.
