"This book is not about perfect parenting. It is about becoming a more conscious, resourced, and truthful human being, so our children inherit more freedom than fear."
-Dr. Shefali Tsabary, New York Times bestselling author of The Conscious Parent and The Parenting Map
Most parents don't realise that they're not just reacting in the moment - they're reliving the past.
We're told to be patient, get it right, and raise "good kids."
But beneath the pressure, guilt, control, and constant second-guessing, something deeper is at play.
- Inherited beliefs.
- Emotional conditioning.
- Unconscious reactions.
- Nervous-system survival states.
- And deeply ingrained patterns.
These are what shape how we parent - and keep old cycles repeating, no matter how much we "know better."
Because your kid isn't the problem. Neither is the world we're living in. What's driving you is.
F*ck Up Your Kids with Grace & Humour: The Truth About Parenting (And Being Parented) cuts through the noise of modern parenting and goes straight to the core of what's actually going on.
Instead of offering more techniques, perfect strategies, or sugar-coated advice, Jacqlin Richards introduces a powerful, no-BS inside-out approach - one that helps parents recognise the patterns running beneath their reactions, interrupt them in real time, and choose a different way of relating.
Through the Resourced Parenting Method(TM), you'll learn how to:
- Stop parenting from survival and start responding with intention
- Recognise and interrupt the patterns you didn't even know you were repeating
- Shift from control, guilt, and pressure into connection, clarity, and leadership
- Create a family culture where truth, safety, and real connection become the standard
Grounded in lived transformation (not theory), Jacqlin's work has helped parents move out of reactive loops and into a more resourced, connected, and powerful way of leading their families.
This is not about becoming a perfect parent.
It's about becoming aware enough to choose differently.
Because when you change what's driving you...
>With more grace.
More humour.
More play.
And a whole lot more fucking joy.
