“Dr. Thomas Boyce, professor of pediatrics and psychiatry, spent more than 40 years studying child development and stress. He uses the orchid and dandelion analogy to describe why some children struggle while others in the same environment thrive. May is Mental Health Month, and I think this analogy is an important one to keep in mind as we continue to move the conversation about children’s mental health forward. I believe that creating resilience in children is one of the single most important things we can do to create a healthier, stronger community.” (more)
