" Certains enfants sont particulièrement sensibles à leur environnement. Comme l'orchidée, ils ne "poussent' pas n'importe où et pas n'importe comment. À l'inverse, les enfants pissenlits sont moins perméables aux circonstances de la vie et ont donc une résistance qui leur permet de s'adapter plus facilement aux différentes situations. " Fabrice Midal Comment expliquer ces différences chez les enfants ? Comment se fait-il que, dans une même fratrie, certains vivent une jeunesse simple et plutôt agréable, sont plus résistants physiquement, tandis que d'autres sont davantage sujets aux maladies et jonglent plus aisément entre frustration et désespoir ? Existe-t-il des chemins prédéfinis qui déterminent leur avenir ou leur bonheur ?
Dans L'Orchidée et le Pissenlit, Thomas Boyce raconte sa quête qui l'a conduit, quarante années durant, dans l'intimité des familles. Son but : comprendre pourquoi les enfants sont si différents et comment les accompagner au mieux selon leur sensibilité. Un livre essentiel sur la richesse et la complexité de l'être humain.
Découvrez quel enfant vous étiez et les particularités des enfants orchidées et pissenlits, afin de leur permettre d'exprimer leur potentiel. -
Et si votre enfant était hypersensible ? S'il avait les caractéristiques d'une l'orchidée ?
Est-il comme cette fleur, particulièrement sensible à son environnement ? Est-ce que pour s'épanouir, il a besoin de circonstances favorables -; attention, soutien, affection, confiance... ?

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. -

"Based on groundbreaking research that has the power to change the lives of countless children--and the adults who love them." --Susan Cain, author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts.
A book that offers hope and a pathway to success for parents, teachers, psychologists, and child development experts coping with difficult children.
In Tom Boyce's extraordinary new book, he explores the "dandelion" child (hardy, resilient, healthy), able to survive and flourish under most circumstances, and the "orchid" child (sensitive, susceptible, fragile), who, given the right support, can thrive as much as, if not more than, other children.
Boyce writes of his pathfinding research as a developmental pediatrician working with troubled children in child-development research for almost four decades, and explores his major discovery that reveals how genetic make-up and environment shape behavior. He writes that certain variant genes can increase a person's susceptibility to depression, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and antisocial, sociopathic, or violent behaviors. But rather than seeing this "risk" gene as a liability, Boyce, through his daring research, has recast the way we think of human frailty, and has shown that while these "bad" genes can create problems, they can also, in the right setting and the right environment, result in producing children who not only do better than before but far exceed their peers. Orchid children, Boyce makes clear, are not failed dandelions; they are a different category of child, with special sensitivities and strengths, and need to be nurtured and taught in special ways. And in The Orchid and the Dandelion, Boyce shows us how to understand these children for their unique sensibilities, their considerable challenges, their remarkable gifts.
