Where toddler anger, changeling and neurobiology myths collide. Revealing how cultural beliefs and gender shape how we understand, respond to, and raise emotional children.
India Rakusen reaches the wild storm of toddler anger - once feared as fairy mischief, now often misunderstood by science and society alike.
We move from ancient changeling tales to modern myths of the 鈥渓izard brain鈥�, unravelling how culture, gender, and language shape the way we see emotion. Could anger, so often cast as dangerous or shameful, also be a vital force - something to be named, held, and guided, not silenced. A tender look at the fire in every small soul.
