The Mom's
Network is a support mechanism for our club. The entire NMMOMC
membership has been divided into groups, based on both location and on
the ages of the multiples. Hopefully the incorporation of
location into the group structure will allow members to easily schedule
play dates, outings, etc. The groups also provide a means for
moms to more easily and meaningfully share experiences and ideas, as
well as build friendships.
Have
you ever thought about getting involved in mentoring, but you weren't
sure who to contact or what to do? Maybe you've wanted to know more
before you got involved, but were afraid to ask. Well, search no more.
Mentoring is one of the most fundamental lifelines of our club and even
you can take advantage of it.
Remember
how crazy things were when you were pregnant and then right after you
gave birth? Just think of what type of assistance you could've used
during those first few trying months. Perhaps you would have benefited
from having someone to talk to, laugh and cry with, scream at, or
simply to seek advice from. Perhaps you had physical help from family
and friends, but no one close to you could understand the stress of
feeding infant twins through the night. Or maybe you just had a few
simple questions to ask, that only another mother of twins could
answer. Remember? It was a trying time wasn't it? Well, that's what our
new and pregnant moms are going through now and they need your
help.
Building
relationships and providing heartfelt advice, are key to being a
mentor. Our new and pregnant moms bring enthusiasm, excitement and
endearment to our club and it is the clubs goal to keep that growing.
By
becoming a mentor, you will be promoting relationships with new and
pregnant moms by offering advice, answering questions, calming fears,
encouraging hopes and dreams, and by most of all, just listening. You
should encourage them to communicate with you and the club and help
give them a piece of mind that everything will turn out just fine.
Mentors should also try and contact their new mom at least once a week.
You may not always get to speak with her, but she will know you are
thinking about her and that you care, even if she doesn't return your
call right away.
Each
member of our club should try and get to know our new and pregnant
moms. Offering to take a pregnant mom to lunch or bringing dinner to a
new mom are a couple of ways to do this. They are the future of our
club. As long as you are providing the love and care you wished
for when you were in that situation, you can't go wrong. Just be their
friend.
If
you are interested in representing the club and becoming a mentor or
would like to receive a mentor, please contact Carla Dockery.
