8. Love

Saison 2 · Épisode 8

mercredi 31 décembre 2025 • Durée 28:50

In the final episode of the series India looks into love. From an exploration into the oxytocin driving the parent infant bond to the pressures of unconditional love and the importance of receiving love on a child’s development, this is the story of a big, beautiful, often pressurised emotion.

7. Anxiety

Saison 2 · Épisode 7

mercredi 24 décembre 2025 • Durée 28:20

A moment of pure panic - losing a child in a park - begins India Rakusen’s exploration of anxiety: what it is, how it begins, and how it shapes both children and parents.

Through science, history and culture, she learns how early sensory experiences, food battles, and modern parenting pressures feed our fears. And she explores how play, freedom, and the simple act of letting go might be our best cure.

A story about holding on, and learning to release, in a world that asks us to protect what we cannot contain.

5. Sadness

Saison 2 · Épisode 5

mercredi 10 décembre 2025 • Durée 28:13

India Rakusen examines why humans cry, what tears mean and why we might want to question our ability to read the mind in the face.

Taking a look at the science and psychology behind crying, from infancy through adulthood, and how tears connect to empathy and emotional development, experts explain how crying signals helplessness, invites support, and shapes social bonds.

The programme also explores how culture, gender, and upbringing influence how we express and understand emotions.

4. Anger

Saison 2 · Épisode 4

mercredi 3 décembre 2025 • Durée 28:28

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 “lizard brain”, 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.

3. Surprise

Saison 2 · Épisode 3

mercredi 26 novembre 2025 • Durée 28:37

India Rakusen explores the emotion of surprise — from classic knock-knock jokes to the complex, messy business of toddler toilet training. Along the way, we hear how surprise isn’t just a fleeting reaction, but a powerful engine for learning, adaptation, and belief change.

We dive into how surprise shapes our understanding of the world, and even how diversity in early years education can offer rich, surprising moments that foster deeper learning.

This episode unpacks how moments of unpredictability - big and small - help children build resilience, challenge social assumptions, and ultimately grow. Welcome to the surprising world of… Surprise.

2. Fear

Saison 2 · Épisode 2

mercredi 19 novembre 2025 • Durée 28:49

Fear shows up early in childhood - taught through cautionary tales and parental reactions. In this episode, we explore how fear shapes young minds, how it was used historically to control and protect, and what some scientists now say about where fear really lives in the brain, and what that could tell us about all emotions.

From ancient parenting advice to cutting-edge neuroscience. A story told with scissors. Snip, snip.

1. Happiness

Saison 2 · Épisode 1

mercredi 12 novembre 2025 • Durée 29:38

India Rakusen dives into the emotional lives of toddlers, starting with the complex and often misunderstood emotion of happiness. Through giggling games of peekaboo, insights from neuroscientists, historians, and global perspectives on parenting, the episode unpacks how toddlers experience joy and how early emotional development shapes who we become. Experts reveal the science behind brain plasticity, the importance of caregiver connection, and the myths we hold about emotions. India also explores how society pressures parents to “keep kids happy” and how that links to broader cultural ideas—like the pursuit of happiness in politics and history and challenges us to rethink what happiness really is, for our children and for ourselves.

Trailer: Child Series 2

Saison 2 · Épisode 9

mercredi 29 octobre 2025 • Durée 03:07

India Rakusen returns with the second series of Child for the next chapter of the story of us all. The series will capture the joy and the pain of toddlerhood, the history of infancy and innocence, and, of course, the minefield of parenting a toddler. Because toddlers are on a life ride like no other, deep in the trenches of figuring out how to be a person in our world. In this deep dive into the mind of a toddler we explore what we really know about emotional and brain development in infancy, how it influences the whole of our lives, and how beliefs and understandings of emotions have shaped our world.

Saison 1 · Épisode 27

lundi 18 mars 2024 • Durée 13:51

We get inside the mind of a one year old with Professor of psychology and baby expert Alison Gopnik. What can babies teach us, and how are they influencing their future. We also take a moment think about the village we need to survive that first year and beyond. It’s a cliche, but we know it’s true. The community around a child is one of the most fundamental factors for its development.
