Customized Parenting: Creating Easy, Intuitive Parenting Plans for Evolving Families - Paperback

by Bailey Gaddis (Author)

Customized Parenting is the ultimate guide for parents who want to feel calm, empowered, and joyful while navigating the ever-evolving journey of parenting.

Parents thrive when encouraged to explore their personal beliefs on parenting and tap into their deep well of wisdom. Author and parenting coach Bailey Gaddis will help parents discover their unique, effective, and sustainable parenting style so they can create a customized Parenting Plan that allows them to settle into and enjoy this intense time.

Once we identify the values we want our families to embody, and put them into words, we can parent from a place of confidence and empowerment, rather than exhaustion and frustration. And with the custom Parenting Plan the reader creates through the guidance in this book, they will relax into parenthood, develop mutual respect and boundaries with their child, and parent with intuitive knowledge and strength.

This Parenting Plan will bloom from the trifecta of the reader's intuition, their family values, and research-based insights, providing them with clear, constructive methods for navigating everything from communication, emotional regulation, and boundaries to discipline, parent-child social life, and so much more.

Parenting is not static, and neither is your Parenting Plan: it's a living document designed to grow and change as children--and parents--evolve.
