Introverted children are often misunderstood, even by their
parents,
who worry about them. Engaged by their interior world,
they’re often
regarded as aloof. Easily overwhelmed by too much
stimulation, they can
be seen as unmotivated. Content with just one or two close
friends,
they may be perceived as unpopular. Parents fret that they
are unhappy
and maladjusted. But the truth is quite different:
Introverted children
are creative problem solvers. Introverted children love to
learn.
Introverted children have a high EQ (emotional IQ) and are
in touch
with their feelings. They take time to stop and smell the
roses, and
they enjoy their own company. They are dependable, persistent,
flexible, and lack vanity.
How can parents help their introverted children discover and
cultivate
these wonderful gifts? Help is here. Written by Dr. Marti
Olsen Laney,
author of The Introvert Advantage with 74,000
copies in print, The Hidden Gifts of the Introverted
Child fully
explains introversion as a hardwired temperament, not a
disability, and
tells just what parents need to do to help their child
become the
person he or she is meant to be—and succeed in an
extroverted world.
Beginning with a 30-question quiz that places a child on the
introvert/extrovert continuum, The Hidden Gifts
shows parents
how to foster a climate that allows introverted kids to
discover their
inner strengths; schedule ways for a very young innie to
recharge those
batteries and teach an older child to do it for him- or
herself; create
a harmonious household with siblings, and parents, of different
temperaments; help innies find success at school, sports,
parties, and
other group activities.
