A funny, entertaining, and insightful guide that empowers parents with practical strategies, drawing playful yet effective parallels between poker and parenting to manage stress, communication, and discipline.

The Poker Player's Guide to Parenting is a humorous and insightful guide that draws practical parallels between the strategies of poker and the challenges of raising children. Written by mental health therapist and mother Leaha Hammer, this entertaining book provides parents with actionable tools to navigate their children's behavior, all while adding a lighthearted twist to common parenting struggles.

With a unique poker-inspired reward system using poker chips, and clever metaphors to guide communication and discipline, parents will learn when to "buy in," how to have effective "table talk," and when to "fold" during tough moments. Through Hammer’s candid storytelling and relatable advice, parents will feel both validated and equipped to handle the ups and downs of parenthood, all while getting a few laughs along the way. No topic is off-limits, from anger and entitlement to the ever-debated question of whether parents should be their child’s friend. This book helps parents feel heard, understood, and more in control of their parenting journey—without bluffing!
