Dear Gail, dear Dan,
thank you very much for the responses. It's the father who will come to
attend the seminar, the mother will stay with the child.
Good to have you around!

Martin Personally, I would not have the child in the seminar. I don't
have a strong sense that my preference is right for other facilitators, so
it might work out well for you for the child and both parents to attend.
The issue for me is about exposing the child to systemic entanglements of
the parents. It's too intimate. The invisible dynamic is often quite harsh
and disturbing. The healing movement that follows can be quite tender and
affirming, but the child will get the benefit afterwards.
If they really can't arrange for childcare, then the parent who feels the
stress of the system more strongly should come and work. Another time,
perhaps the other parent can come.
If you sit with the question and weigh the various opinions that come to
you, you will find the answer that is right for you.
I wish you success with this family,
Dan

Subject: [ConstellationTalk] bringing children to constellation work
seminars
Dear all,
the parents of a 7 year old child asked me whether they could bring it to
the constellations seminar because otherwise one of them would have to
stay
away too. I don't see any reasons why they shouldn't, although I've never
had such young children in my seminars before. I thought that maybe when
the
child is tired or wants to do something else, because it's too much then
one
of the parents could take him out.
What do you think? Any experiences indicating not to take in children?
Thank you very much in advance!
Martin
