Is My Kid an Orchid?: A Working Mom's Guide to Sensitive Kids, Big Feelings, and the Patterns We Pass Down - Couverture souple
Livre 3 sur 3: The New Parent Library
Synopsis
Why does one kid shrug off a rainy afternoon in five minutes while the other is still carrying it at bedtime?
Rhowela Friel came home from a pharmacy shift to find her six-year-old crying over paint and her husband out of ideas. Her four-year-old stood three feet away with her hands over her ears, mostly just annoyed it was loud. Same house, same night, same crying. Rhowela picked up her six-year-old and said what she’d wanted someone to say to her. “It’s okay to be upset.”
It seemed to help, and she spent months afterward trying to find out why. What she found was research on environmental sensitivity, and a set of flower names. Orchid, dandelion, tulip. Names that gave her somewhere to start on the nights she had nothing. What she also found was herself. A woman who learned young to look less affected than she felt, and for whom love felt easiest to see right after she’d done something well.
Is My Kid an Orchid? is one working mom’s account of raising two sisters with very different emotional needs, while working two jobs and carrying a pattern she didn’t choose. It’s honest about what she tried, what happened next, and where the research ended and her own experience began.
Inside you’ll discover:
- What to check before calling it defiance
- Why your first read on your own kid can be wrong in a way that feels right
- How exhaustion, guilt, and your own childhood can shape what you see
- Why the kid who seems easier can be easier to overlook
- Why some hard nights are a schedule problem and not a patience problem
- What a single hard moment can and can’t tell you about your kid
- How to change the support around a limit without automatically giving the limit away
- What to do in the next five minutes after you get it wrong
Dr. Rhowela A. Friel is a pharmacist trained to evaluate clinical evidence. She applied that training to the question of why her two young daughters can experience the same home, rules, and relationships so differently. She isn’t a parenting expert, and this book doesn’t pretend otherwise.
You don’t need the perfect label. You need enough of a pause to see the kid standing in front of you.
