“This theory by David Dobbs holds that many children are like dandelions, able to thrive in just about any environment. But others, including the high-reactive types that Kagan studied, are more like orchids: they wilt easily, but under the right conditions can grow strong and magnificent. (…) In other words, orchid children are more strongly affected by all experience, both positive and negative.” Excerpt From “Quiet” by Susan Cain
