Critics Review

‘In an incredibly helpful and game-changing reframe, The Orchid Code turns ‘sensitive’ from problem into superpower. Aliza has a gift for making you (and definitely me) feel less alone in the hardest parts of parenting. It is no surprise that she has done it again with this filled-with-science, deeply comforting book.’ * Jennifer Garner *
‘No child – or parent – responds to the world in the same way, and in The Orchid Code, Dr Aliza Pressman explains why: our unique temperaments filter our experience of life. This groundbreaking book will help you see your child – and yourself – with clarity and compassion.’ * Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk To Someone *
‘The Orchid Code shines a fresh, bright light on the origins of developmental differences, on the needs of individual children, and on the roles of parents in ensuring a child’s capacity to thrive and flourish. Dr Pressman’s brilliant book offers wise, empathetic, compelling and essential insights that should not be missed by anyone charged with the care, shepherding, and protection of children.’ * W. Thomas Boyce, MD, Professor Emeritus in the Departments of Pediatrics and Psychiatry at the University of California, and author of The Orchid and the Dandelion *
