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!

Leaha Hammer
Leaha Hammer is a mental health therapist and first-time author. A self-proclaimed jack of all trades but master of none, she is an advocate, volunteer coach, and small business owner with her hands in many areas. A native of rural Nebraska, she draws parenting influences from her upbringing in a farming community, where she learned the values of contribution, humility, and hard work.
Trained and having practiced in the greater Seattle area, Leaha gained an appreciation for creativity, open-mindedness, and the application of therapeutic concepts. As a wife and mother of three, she not only integrates parenting content into her professional work but also applies it daily in her own home, navigating the challenges of raising children alongside her husband.
Competitive by nature but soft at heart, Leaha shares parenting stories filled with both wins and losses, offering validation and insight to fellow parents on their own journeys.
