Question Teaching Families

Hi,

I've recently been asked several times to teach children and their mothers in the same lesson. Frankly, I'm a little baffled.


Do mothers enjoy the same activities and topics that kids do?

Should I pick a book aimed at kids, like Let's Go or English Time, and have the mothers do the same activities/workbook/homework as the kids?

Will mothers dominate the conversation, speak for the kids and constantly correct them?

Since my teaching style changes a lot depending on the age group at hand (alas, the younger they are the goofier I become), I think mixing such disparate age groups would be hazardous to my psyche.

Any thoughts on the matter? Any good points I'm missing? Ever had this experience?

Thanks,
Karen
