Bring the Kids

LIKE FIRST-TIME PARENTS, planners who haven't had children at their incentive programs often can't imagine the details of their new responsibilities: assuage picky eaters, design activities that appeal to 5-year-olds — and 12-year-olds — find Mary Poppins wannabes, cope with tantrums and other parental distractions …. And that doesn't even touch on the liability issues. Despite everything, however, as in parenthood, the rewards of having kids on-site often outweigh the hassles.
