15.08.2023 12:00

Many parents of introverted children sometimes do not understand how to find a common language with them and get through to them.

The fact is that such a child is passive in communication and is more immersed in his inner world.

What 5 rules will help you set up a dialogue?

Room

An introverted child needs his own isolated space where no one can disturb him. Such children truly value solitude.

Therefore, if possible, it is better to give one of the empty rooms to a nursery. If this is not possible, then isolate part of the living room so that no one can disturb the child.

Don't pull

Introverts live at their own pace, which is comfortable and acceptable for them. You shouldn't try to rush them or force them to live differently.

In any case, it will be too difficult for such children to adjust.

Respect differences

If you notice that your child is comfortable alone with a book or other entertainment, then you should not try to actively involve him in other types of recreation.

Introverts agree to be active only when they themselves are in the mood.

Pauses

Introverts sometimes even need to think at a pace that is comfortable for them. Therefore, there is no point in rushing such a child, experts believe.

Respect

You should not show your dissatisfaction with your appearance or express dissatisfaction with how your child spends his time. This will not help children to change and behave differently, but will make the relationships in the family more ambiguous and uncomfortable.
