Ilene, Just an idea. I don't know how your clinic works, as I am not real familiar with Wic. But could one peer counselor be assigned to a play area with the kids, while another or other counselors do their counselling.? I know in our local health unit there are kitchen toys and rocking horses, etc kinda in a corner of the waiting area for kids to play with. Maybe a room or a corner area could be set up for play area. Moms could donate toys etc to stock the area, books, etc, a little table and chairs, baby swing, colors and coloring books. Even in the same room as the counselors are could be a little corner play area? Good luck keeping the moms and kids together. Laurie Wheeler, RNC, MN, IBCLC Violet Louisiana USA
