My own family is comprised of three introverts and one lonely extrovert, so it has been a huge shift in education and focus for us to step out of our own preferences and learn to meet that child s needs.

Hi Mellisa,

I “found” you from the facebook page. I’m an introvert mama with introvert kids. Loved reading your post! I browsed through your pre-school posts and oh my, I was reminded of the times when my kids were pre-schoolers (well not too long ago ;))

All the best for all that you do!

This is so helpful! I love all your tips. My girl is only one but I feel like she’s already showing signs of extroversion, loves being around people! And I LOVE the book Quiet!!! Seriously I had my husband read it so that he could better understand me!

Are you me, but with a girl?? LOL. We also adopted and have the most adorable fourteen-month-old little boy ever – and he is as extremely extroverted (already so obvious) as we both are introverted. Navigating this is going to a learning experience (almost all our friends and family are also pretty introverted or borderline extroverts, so we’ve got to branch out – yikes!), but we’re committed to figuring this out and doing it right.

Love these tips! My daughter is only 14 months old, but she seems like such an extrovert and LOVES attention. I’m a total introvert. We became her parents through adoption so there will be many “nature vs nurture” moments where she has talents and personality traits that are “hers”. It’s so great to see our children develop into their own unique person!

I really enjoyed reading this! I’m an extreme introvert and I definitely felt it when I first became a mother. I’ve been learning I need to build in alone time in my week. Easier said than done 🙂

In reply to Cheryll. Yes, I try to give my extrovert lots of people time...it certainly makes a positive impact on her mood!

Oh my goodness! You are speaking my language. I am also an introvert mother with an extrovert child. I love the book, Quiet, and look forward to reading the book you recommended. It is degi item a challenge being opposites and by educating your children it will help them be more well rounded in their relationships with others.
