Foreword by Philippa Perry
‘Based on groundbreaking research that has the power to change the
lives of countless children - and the adults who love them.’ – Susan
Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet'
A necessary and important book.' - Philippa Perry, Sunday Times
bestselling author of The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read
Are you a hardy and resilient dandelion, or are you a more sensitive
and fragile orchid?
Building on the definitions of introvert, extrovert or highly
sensitive, The Orchid and the Dandelion exposes – for the first time –
how a combination of environmental and genetic factors contribute to
what makes us who we are. This breakthrough research explains why some
people struggle where others succeed, why happiness comes so easily to
some while frustrations weigh more heavily on others.
In The Orchid and the Dandelion, Dr W. Thomas Boyce – one of the
world’s foremost researchers in the field of pediatric health –
presents findings that children have two very different responses to
their environments. While some children are like dandelions and can
thrive in almost any environment, there are others who, like orchids,
are much more reactive and susceptible to their surroundings. Now we
finally have a scientific framework to understand people and how to
address their unique needs to help them find their fullest potential.
This groundbreaking book draws on extensive research into genetics and
the exploding field of epigenetics, examples and real stories that will
re-frame how we think about orchid and dandelion children – and the
adults those children have become. By understanding which of us are,
genetically and environmentally speaking, the orchids of this world, Dr
Boyce explains how to care for and parent our children – the true
orchids. He shows how we can help them thrive by sharing insights and
lessons from his thirty years of research in the field.
