Synopsis

Why does your child fall apart over the wrong colour cup? Fear the dark but not the road? Refuse everything green? Go silent at thirteen and prefer almost anyone's company to yours?

Because your child is not a small adult with poor self-control. Your child is a Stone Age animal — running the full ancient emotional equipment at full power, in a body whose brakes are still twenty years from finished.

Once you see that, the daily bafflement of raising a child begins to make sense. None of it is a flaw, and almost none of it is your fault. Each feeling is a piece of ancient equipment, doing exactly what it was built to do in a world it was never designed for.

Turning the lens of Designed to Feel on childhood, Peter Burchardt traces the evolutionary origin of every feeling your child has, shows where each one misfires in modern life, and sets out what actually helps. Written not by an expert but by a father in the middle of it — still getting it wrong, and honest about both.

Understand your child's emotions, and parent with less frustration.
