Lynne Spears, Britney Spears’ Mother, Challenges Moms to Include, Not Judge

Author Lynne Spears, mother of Britney and Jamie Lynn, challenged over 4,500 mothers today, encouraging them to “reach out to every mom around you.” Lynne joined the stage with MOPS International CEO Elisa Morgan at the MOPS International Convention in Grapevine, TX to talk about some of her personal mothering experiences.

Morgan joined Spears in challenging moms to befriend others who “might not fit the mold of how you think a mother should look; you’ve got to look beyond what you see on the surface.”

In her introduction of Spears, Morgan reminded audience members of the purpose of MOPS International, a leading mothering organization that provides community to over 100,000 mothers of preschoolers. “We know MOPS exists to encourage, equip and develop every mom — no matter where she’s been or what she’s done…EVERY mother of preschoolers — including moms like Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears.”

The purpose of the 2008 MOPS International Convention is to help mothers understand that when they are loved and accepted just as they are, they will be empowered to care about other moms. “Having Lynne Spears here today is a demonstration of how we can build bridges to other moms and bring them into a community of hope and encouragement — no matter where they are at in their mothering journey,” Morgan said.

At the conclusion of the interview, Morgan and MOPS International President Naomi Cramer Overton presented Spears with two complimentary MOPS International Memberships as a gift to her daughters, and a membership to FullFill, a community for women in all seasons of life.
