World Series of Poker Player Explains How to Turn Poker Skills into Parenting Thrills: Poker-playing Dad Inspires Fathers with New Book
Waukesha, WI (PRWEB) June 1, 2007 -- Who knew that becoming a better poker player could help you become a better parent? Mark Borowski, father of two children and World Series of Poker player, has released "Big Slick Daddy: Poker Strategies for Parenting Success." Using his 20-plus years of card-playing experience, Mark shows how the same strategies that help you win at poker can help you win at parenting.
With real-life stories of fathers who have applied these ideas and insightful examples, this book can be used at the card table and at the dinner table - at the Texas Hold 'Em Tournament and at your child's soccer tournament.
Here's some of what parents will learn to do:
1. Play the Hand You're Dealt: In life, the "hand we're dealt" is the family environment we grew up in - how we were raised. Mark helps young fathers decide to pass on the positive aspects of their heritage and change the negative characteristics they learned from their own parents into positive ones.
2. Go ALL IN with Your Kids: In poker, going all in means committing all of your chips to the outcome of one hand, which is thrilling when you win and chilling when you lose. In parenting, going all in means making significant, enduring commitments to your kids that will pay off in the long run.
3. Play No Limit Poker but Play Limit Parenting: No Limit Texas Hold 'Em is the most exciting game in the world today because of the thrill of betting all of your chips at one time. However, fathers should practice Limit Parenting by following Mark's four guidelines to setting limits and boundaries, all in an effort to help kids grow up to be responsible adults who enjoy good relationships.
4. Give Action to Get Action: In poker, giving action means playing even when you don't have a good hand, so eventually other players will give action back to you. In parenting, giving action means getting involved in your child's activities, even if the activity itself does not interest you. You'll be surprised at the benefits.
5. Don't Bluff Your Kids: Bluffing works in poker but it doesn't work in parenting. Follow Mark's suggestions to avoid making empty threats to your kids just to get them to do what you want.
6. Know When to Hold 'Em and Know When to Scold 'Em: Mark helps fathers be more positive with their kids so they communicate care and love. He also helps parents learn the best times to hold their kids accountable for their actions.
7. Raise the Stakes by Having High Expectations: In poker, raising the stakes helps you win more money and in parenting, raising the expectations of your children helps them learn about themselves, build self-confidence, and succeed.
Big Slick is an Ace and a King - one of the best hands in poker - and this book helps fathers create a successful parenting hand. Read it and reap.
