PORT RICHEY, Fla., Dec. 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- “The only way I succeeded in being a good parent was by wanting to be the best parent I could possibly be. Without that motivation, I never could have become a good dad. The starting point toward being a good parent is wanting to be a great dad to your children,” Craig Balcomb states.
“Daddyman: A Personal Guide to Being a Good Dad” (published by Xlibris) is designed as a guide to becoming a good, possibly a great, dad. It is not a book for answering problems from diaper rash to teething pain. It is a philosophy toward parenting aimed at putting in the positive frame of mind to help one becomes a good dad.
This book was written to fill a huge void in parenting resources for dads. While it is based on Balcomb’s own personal experiences and observations, these principles and ideas about positive parenting can be used and applied by any parent.
“No matter what your background, heritage or financial status, you have the ability to be a good dad.” Balcomb says. “Being rich will not make you a better parent. Nor will being physically strong or athletic. Being a good dad is measured by the amount of love, time and caring that you give your children.”
As a dad himself, Balcomb believes that one should regularly evaluate his effectiveness and continually strive to do a better job at it. He hopes the philosophy in this book will help dads become the good dad that they want to be and that the ideas he has laid out will help make their parenting journey easier. “I recommend reading this book all the way through the first time around. Then keep it handy, and pick it up periodically to read a chapter here and there for a quick reminder, motivation or point of reflection,” he concludes.
