Description
"The Orchid and the Dandelion: Why Some Children Struggle and How All Can Thrive" by W. Thomas Boyce (MD) explores why some children are highly sensitive to their surroundings while others show resilience. The book introduces "orchid" children, who thrive with the right support, and "dandelion" children, who adapt easily to challenges. Boyce examines genetic and environmental influences on development. Recognizing these differences may help caregivers create nurturing environments that allow every child to reach their potential.
