Does your little one prefer to play on their own rather than join a group activity? Or do they get grumpy on overnight family visits? That's okay! In fact, it's normal: more than half (56,8%) of people worldwide identify as introverts, according to a 2020 Myers-normal Type Indicator sample.
Your child is still developing. While they may show introverted traits now, this could also change as they get older - or not. Either way, keep the following tips in mind when raising a child who appears introverted.
Keep things private
As much as possible, avoid reprimanding or scolding your child in public or in a group setting rather pull them to the side.
The same goes for positive interactions. Sing their praises, but do it in a way they are comfortable with; perhaps that's simply by allowing them to overhear you speaking to others about them.
