Kids at Folk Clubs? I'd sooner they stayed at home with a baby-sitter. I have been approached nicely by families wishing to come along, and always ask their age and if they are well behaved. It used to happen when I ran ticketed events. I asked for the full ticket price for the child. If the parents were prepared to pay, then you could bet that they would sit quietly and listen. Well behaved toddlers and babies usually went to sleep under the table when we had a reesident with a young family. They grew up with an appreciation of folk music. Parents who allow their kids to run free ... I think they just want a cheap night out.
