Introverted children, look at them with confidence.

It’s not easy to feel how special you are when you’re introverted.

 Introverts vs extroverts.

In many situations, from snacking with other children to clubbing, the path of growth of an introvert person is dotted with situations where he or she may feel inadequate.

In a world made of appearances and superficiality, taking care of what is deep, seems an attitude useless and counterproductive and it’s easy to feel out of place, when everyone makes noise and nobody knows how to listen.

But in this article I will try to demonstrate exactly the opposite, that is how the characteristics of introverts hold within themselves a great power, which if recognized, is able to bring to the world an important contribution.

How to help an introverted child:

know your own characteristics to feel good about yourself.

To help an introverted child, the first step towards well-being is to help him to know his own characteristics and to learn to perceive himself within a path of growth and improvement.

Every time we feel wrong and don’t know why, every time we feel that we can’t change something we don’t like, every time we perceive ourselves in a stagnant situation, We have to ask ourselves if we are really connected with ourselves and if we really know our real characteristics.

For each of us there is a space of change that is more or less wide, depending on the determination of each to change and improve.

But if we do not learn to recognize our true characteristics or if we do not accept them, we risk not making an inch on the path of personal growth, in any area of life.

Some traits that are innate in each of us, can be blunted, seconded, accepted but not denied or radically transformed.

Embracing these characteristics will lead us to look at ourselves more clearly and to build from what we have, only then will we cultivate the seed of uniqueness that is within each one of us.

This also and especially applies to our children.

If you are the parent of a shy child and push him to become reckless, you are not looking at him for what he is; Conversely, if you are the parent of a reckless child and let his vivacity prevent him from finding even a space for reflection, you are leaving him alone.

Helping introverted children means learning to accompany their journey, taking care of their uniqueness, that being just as they are.

Your child will learn to look at himself with sincerity and to welcome himself in his uniqueness, if you have done this for him first.

Introverted children strengths or weaknesses?

Our gaze is often used to dividing the world in two, black or white, good or bad, strong or weak.

If I think of a world made up only of strong, daredevils or chatterboxes I get the chills but this is exactly what we propose, every time someone makes an introverted person feel out of place for what he is.

If we look well, however, inside each of us live infinite nuances, potentials and resources, which can always contribute to the well-being of all, if shared and put in circulation.

I like to think that over time more and more people can have the opportunity to be accepted and to accept themselves, helping to build an increasingly welcoming and resilient world.

In my experience all children have great resources and also limits and toil but try to think how your adult life would be today, if someone when you were a child had welcomed with serenity, just those traits that characterize you more deeply.

The shot to be taken is precisely this: give our boys and girls the chance to offer the world what they really are.

Introverts vs extroverts: commonplaces to debunk.

Introverts have no friends.

Introverts have fewer friends than extroverts, but they make deeper and more real connections.

They love their friends and build friendships that can withstand shocks and on which you can really count. 

Introverts are antisocial.

Introverts like to socialize just as extroverts do, but while extroverts get strength and charge from being with other people,  introverts get strength and charge from being with themselves.

For this reason, in contexts of intense and prolonged socialization, introverts feel hyper-stimulated and feel the need to recharge their batteries, reconnecting with themselves.

Introverts don’t know how to talk.

In a context of chatter between acquaintances introverts may appear uncomfortable.

Often, because of their ability to look at people with great clarity and their capacity for introspection they are able to understand deeply who is in front of them.

Where everyone talks and nobody listens, introverts are those who know how to look beneath the surface. 

The characteristics of introverts can change the world.

Quietness, confidentiality, introspection, are peculiar characteristics of introverted people,  today in countertrend certainly with the noisy world in which we live, but they have a great value and that provocatively, can change the world.

Many strong personalities in the world of art and entrepreneurship are introverted people.

But what do introverts need to feel good? What can you do as a parent to ensure your child’s well-being if he is introvert?

Introverts like to reflect and listen to their own thoughts, to reconnect with themselves.

   Let your child do it without feeling wrong.

    Introverts need to recharge their batteries by staying with themselves.

Help your child learn how to balance socialization and loneliness.

Introverts  like to be with themselves to find the meaning of the day and what happened.

Accompany your child, you will discover a rich world.

If these lines have been useful to you, even just to look at things from another point of view, share them with those who can be enriched. Thank you.
