Parents can be fooled into thinking there's something wrong with their child for being introverted, especially if they, themselves, are extroverts. Also many teachers, administrators and other relatives who are extroverts may not understand introverted children.
You see, introverts make up a small 30% of the population and yet their self image is defined by extroverts who think there is something wrong with them because they "don't like people" or because they are "shy" or "withdrawn".
Let's come of age! Introversion is a legitimate personality type. You can find out more by visiting a Myers-Briggs website like this one.
There's nothing wrong with your child if he or she is introverted. Introverts give energy to others, so your child avoids extended social interaction not because s/he is anti-social but because s/he is exhausted by it. All those peppy looking extroverts who look so happy in the group are actually taking energy from introverts like your kid when they interact!
The more you understand about introversion as a legitimate personality type the more you can help your child develop a positive self image. You may also want to help your child discover how to "win" in a world set up by "others" with very different tastes and values.
Introverted children get no inherent value or personal reward for taking part in past times that are pushed on most kids. Joining the Pep Squad, taking ball room dancing lessons, joining the German Club and taking field trips to the aquarium are not likely to do anything for your introverted child except stress them out and make them feel like losers because they don't seem to be enjoying themselves when everyone else is!
It's so important to validate your child's feelings about these activities and help them understand that it's normal for introverts to more or less dread them!
The son of one of my clients is a bright, nice looking, musically talented introvert. He is 14 years old and his extremely extroverted mother worries because he doesn't have "any friends". She thinks he isn't "popular". She has pushed him into going to church dances. When he gets there, he cries. She has taken him to psychologists to find out "what's wrong" and she has gotten him drugged with prescriptions.
This is not productive! Instead of forcing a child to do something that goes so much against his nature he has to be drugged to do it, how much more healthy and supportive it would be to provide your child with the right to be just exactly who they are!Page: 1 2

It is easy enough to praise men for the courage of their convictions.
I wish I could teach the sad young of this mealy generation
the courage of their confusions.
