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.
