Tips To Help Your Child Open Up And Feel A Little Less Isolated
Parents, we know that raising a family can be hard. Raising an introverted child in this extroverted world can be even more difficult! Know that nothing is wrong with your child, they just view and interact with the world differently. โฃ

Provide them with an outlet for describing their thoughts and fears. Suggest that they keep a journal or draw if they arenโt comfortable with full disclosure.โฃ
โฃ
2๏ธโฃ. ๐๐๐๐๐ก ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ค ๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฉ – Quiet teenagers prefer to solve problems themselves because they feel too embarrassed to ask others to give them a hand. Encourage them that itโs okay to accept help of guidance! They will soon discover that collaboration is necessary for progress.โฃ
โฃ
3๏ธโฃ. ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ข๐ซ ๐ฌ๐จ๐๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐๐ฌ – Introverts are quiet and dislike the limelight. Give your teen a chance to observe crowds before conversing with people. Your child may be more inclined to join them once they have a good idea of how they interact. Furthermore, donโt pressure your quiet teens to make friends. Encourage them to bond with other introverts!โฃ

If their quietness makes them the targets of bullying, teach them to speak to trusted adults. Listen when they talk and encourage them to verbalize their thoughts. Above all, teach them to assert themselves.โฃ

โฃ
Regardless if your child is introverted or extroverted, they need your support and guidance all the same! Be there for your child, in the way they need you to be. ๐โฃ
