Omschrijving
Are you a hardy and resilient dandelion, or are you a more sensitive orchid? Dr Boyce explains the groundbreaking science changing how we think about our personalities and life paths.
This is a necessary and important book.
Groundbreaking research that has the power to change the lives of countless children—and the adults who love them.
This is the first parenting book I've read in a while that is based on common sense and science. It made me step back and look at each of my four children through different eyes. It is a powerful, groundbreaking read. And if you do have an orchid, it will help you parent them through even the hardest of times.
A book for parents bewildered by their impossibly spirited children, for teachers interested in understanding the range of children in their care, for psychologists wanting insights into individual differences, and for students of the human condition everywhere. . . The Orchid and the Dandelion absorbed me like a novel.
A skilled pediatrician, a gifted scientist, and a lucid writer. He has a deep understanding of the “orchid child” and its underlying biology, and he has a compelling story to tell. There is an extensive audience of parents and teachers whose lives will be touched by this book. The well-being of their children and their students will reap enormous benefits from what Tom Boyce can teach us all about the valleys and the mountaintops of child development
It’s a must read for all parents, teachers, and psychologists!
A true gift to parents and teachers globally
