Have you heard of the Orchid Hypothesis? From the most recent issue of Attached Family: The Orchid Hypothesis offers a dramatically new way of looking at individual genetic predisposition, as well as important components of human evolutionary history. This new model posits that the very genes that have been found to predispose individuals to a variety of disorders—including, for instance, depression, anxiety and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)—are precisely the same genes that in other circumstances can give rise to our highest achievements. and The more stress-sensitive children outperformed their less stress-sensitive kindergarten colleagues when they came from families with lower stress indicators and, inversely, tended to do worse than their dandelion friends when exposed to higher levels of stress or adversity in the home. This is one of many excellent articles in the current issue of Attachment Parenting Internationals Attached Family: Loving Uniquely issue available to API members (and membership is free). attachmentparenting.org/attachedfamily.php
