Richard Glover: How to Ruin a Child

In conversation with Christine Jackman 
11:15am–12:15pm, Friday 9 October, Powerhouse Theatre

Years before mummy bloggers and influencers made anyone raising a kid feel overjudged and underqualified, legions of advisors – from magazine columnists to government agencies – were telling Aussie parents what to do. If you didn’t follow the ever-changing rules, the result was catastrophically simple: you’d ruin your child. But would you? Legendary journalist and rapier wit Richard Glover chronicles these decades of divergent guidance in his side-splittingly funny and deeply reassuring new book, a must-read for old and new parents alike.
