6 Parenting Experts Helping Moms Navigate Family Life
Ask a parent where they find the best advice and you’re bound to get a gamut of answers. Some depend on their family and local communities. Others sprinkle in their favorite influencers. Sometimes, it’s a medical expert that provides resources. But let’s be real–it usually takes a village to raise a family, and all of these people are included.
That’s why we’re excited to share the wisdom of our favorite family experts at this year’s BlogHer Parenting event. You probably already know Tia Mowry, the multi-hyphenate with many job titles: mom, actress, author, and brand founder, to name a few. Ahead are more parenting experts you can look forward to seeing on the virtual stage.
From pediatricians to best-selling authors to bloggers, you’ll want to keep them on your radar long after our virtual event ends.
