JACQLIN RICHARDS - SAMPLE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

1. You say, "Your kid isn't the problem. What's driving you is." What do you
   mean by that?

2. Why do so many parents know how they want to parent, but still find
   themselves reacting in ways they promised they never would?

3. You believe parenting isn't primarily a behaviour problem, it's a capacity
   problem. What does that mean, and why does it change the way we approach
   struggling parents?

4. How can parents begin to recognise when they're responding to the child in
   front of them versus reacting from their own childhood conditioning?

5. You talk about responsibility without shame. How can parents take full
   ownership of their impact on their children without becoming trapped in
   guilt, shame, or the pursuit of perfection?

6. Why is repair so important, and what can children learn when a parent gets
   it wrong, takes responsibility, and returns differently?

7. What does it actually look like to interrupt a reactive pattern in real
   time, when you're already overwhelmed, triggered, or about to lose your shit?

8. Parents today are raising children in a world of screens, social media, AI,
   pornography, comparison, and unprecedented pressure. Why do you believe the
   old parenting playbook is no longer enough?

9. What happens to children, and to the wider family system, when one parent
   starts doing the inner work and changing the patterns they inherited?

10. Your book is called F*ck Up Your Kids with Grace & Humour. Are we all going
    to fuck up our kids, and if so, where do grace and humour come in?
