I wish I’d had Marti Olsen Laney’s "The Hidden Gifts of the Introverted Child" when my son was small.
You see my son is(was) an Introvert. Poor lad grew up with 3, count ’em 3, Extraverts.
At the time I thought he was just shy and quiet and thoughful.
Then when I learned about the MBTI I realized he was Introverted. But, by that time he was 14 … and I sure could have used Marti’s advice when he was younger
This book is a must read for Extraverted parents who have Introverted kids.
Learn what to do… and what not to do — like dragging them out to social events and MAKING them appear in public to do those EXTRAVERTED things.
Even though my son is an adult now… I learned a lot from reading this book.
Be sure to check it out.
