As a parent of introverted children you can liberate them from the stifling and exhausting expectations of the extroverted world.  If you are like most people you don’t have a deep understanding of introversion.  As a consequence you may unwittingly communicate to your child that she needs to be different.  Perhaps you took the book out of his hands and pushed him into a crowd of playing children.

Or you’ve gotten a teacher’s feedback that your child is too quiet or soft spoken. Or perhaps you worry that your child doesn’t have more friends, isn’t more outgoing, more social, or hangs back at parties too much.

Yet these are all values of the extroverted culture. We are measuring our introverted children against these standards. And they come up short. Yuck!

What happens when we use standards that honor the style of introverted children?  Good things!  They feel valued, seen, respected.

Introverted children are easily overlooked and gobbled up by our overwhelming extrovert oriented culture.  As parents we can be aware of this and help buffer against it.  We can engage in empowering behavior that allows our introverted children to feel good about their quieter more mild-mannered tendencies.  We also want to support them in getting their physiologically-based needs met.  Introversion is a temperament we are born with and our brains and physiology differ from that of extroverts.  Understanding what all it means to be introverted will allow you to raise an empowered introverted child.
