The Orchid Child

I read of a study done about children who were unusually and extremely sensitive to their environment. Who seemed not to have much.....or any.....resiliency. And who would either whither completely, or flourish profoundly depending on the nature of the influences.

They have been called Orchid Children.

 

"The Orchid

Most children are like dandelions and can grow wherever they may land very easily. They are common and hardy and robust. Other children are like orchids and can only thrive in just the right greenhouse conditions. When they bloom, they are rare, fragile, beautiful, and very special. You are an orchid child, so fortunate to have the right people caring for you. Though you are fragile, you are so very special and it is breath taking to see you bloom."
