"What I love about this book is how it meets mamas where they are—and guides us back to our own instincts with humor, heart, and zero judgment. It’s not about doing it right—it’s about doing it your way, with clarity and confidence." —Satya Twena, CEO and Founding Mama of We Are Amma

“Working Mother contributor Gaddis (Feng Shui Mommy) helps parents identify their child-rearing values in this instructive manual… Parents will find no shortage of worthwhile guidance here.” — Publishers Weekly

"“As parents we always wonder, are we doing a good job? But ‘parenting is not static, and neither is your Parenting Plan’ is the supportive, encouraging, and hopeful message that author Bailey Gaddis shares with her readers. As a mom of three kids, I wish I had this book at the beginning of my parenting journey, one that began over a decade ago. This informative and accessible book is filled with ideas and suggestions that all new parents (and perhaps even some seasoned ones) should use to help guide meaningful decisions that will impact your daily life. It provides innovative strategies for creating respectful and important boundaries with children, navigating social challenges like building relationships and bullying, and encourages readers to be confident, adaptable, and intuitive on their parenting journey.” —Rekha Rajan, author of The Read Aloud Factor

“If you’re hoping to discover your unique parenting style, Customized Parenting is your answer. Gaddis is the judgment-free, funny-but-real friend you want with you on the parenting journey, helping you create a practical parenting plan that is just right for your family.” —Meghan Rudd, PhD, licensed clinical psychologist

“Bailey is an extraordinary teacher and mother. While many offer theories on parenting, Bailey lives it—the proof is in her children, who are present, kind, curious, and deeply compassionate. Her approach is grounded in lived experience and humor, rooted in the belief that each parent must find their own authentic way while raising children with empathy and a sense of responsibility. Her teachings are remarkably accessible—and they work.” —Rachel Kolar McCord, integrative therapist, educator, and founder of The Veil and Mother Medicine

“Clears away all the mental clutter of parenting and offers a clear path parents can follow to create more intuitive, fulfilling, and effective parenting strategies. Gaddis has distilled an incredible collection of top child development and family research into easily digestible forms, making it easy for parents to become well-informed, without the overwhelm. This is the go-to guide for choosing your own adventure when raising humans, and having fun along the way.” —Katy Snow, PhD, research program in child development, University of Amsterdam
