Orchid Children

I printed out The Science of Success for bedside reading, but until I get to it the thing that grabbed my eye from Jason Kottke’s excerpt was this:

With a bad environment and poor parenting, orchid children can end up depressed, drug-addicted, or in jail — but with the right environment and good parenting, they can grow up to be society’s most creative, successful, and happy people.

Shit, no pressure! I hope I have dandelion kids.
