My Child Will Thrive PodcastMCWT Podcast Episode 10: How to Maximize the Value of Attending a Conference to Help Your ChildI get excited at the prospect of attending a new conference either in person or online. I look at all the speakers and the things they are talking about and think of all the possibilities of some nugget I may learn or ah ha moment I may have that could help my children.
