Direction to your own inner world since childhood is the main distinguishing feature of introversion. This is where a person will draw energy, while extroverts get it from communication with other personalities. Introverted children are not able to make contact with anyone. The kid does not need other people all the time, he feels perfectly alone with himself. He likes solitary activities. Other children will think that he is closed, but this is not so, because introverts also need to communicate. This is a problem, since he cannot make contact, but there is a need for it.

Introverts quickly get tired of contacts with society. After they were at the event, where there were many people, they need to recover. Therefore, trying to stay alone. Children are discreet, they will not tell their parents about their emotions and thoughts. If they worry about anything, the mother will not know about it. This behavior is normal, do not worry.

More often they are drawn to knowledge than to interaction with society. They will not go to various parties. If they get there, they always try to make them not noticed.

    Differences from autism

    A striking difference between an introvert and an autistic child is the possibility of introverted children to be quietly in society. They can learn and interact with others, if necessary. With autism, the baby is incredibly difficult to communicate with people, he is completely detached from the world. Autistic children have a rather narrow circle of interests. Introvert can have a wide one. Autists are not able to understand others, their experiences and emotions. Introversion also allows children to understand their surrounding personalities quite well.

    Difference With Asperger Syndrome

    A kid with this syndrome uses a minimal amount of facial expressions, practically does not use expressive sign language. Coordination worsens, movements may look strange and awkward. May stumble upon a variety of items, sometimes on the walls. Children with this diagnosis is extremely difficult to engage in sports and physical activity.

    Parenting difficulties

    It is important to try to understand the baby, try to put yourself in his place and realize that introverts are people who like communication, but they cannot communicate with others for too long. It is given hard. Constant fear and isolation is what prevents such children from expanding their social contacts. Introvert will be afraid to speak in front of the class, which is a problem for the emotional state and learning.

    When a child is punished, he will not express a grievance, but simply leave her inside. Parents may think that the child did not understand the lesson, but in fact their credibility is undermined and the next time if something happens, the son or daughter will not talk about it so that adults will not be convicted. Introverts are more often silent, it is quite difficult to hear from them the answer or the story about what caused anxiety.

    How to adapt to life in society?

    Many parents think that the baby does not want to communicate, but this is not quite so. Introverts need social contacts, they may not feel too good if there are practically none. You should try to adapt the child to society, to help learn to be in a team. But if the child does not want to do this, it is better not to force. The ideal option is to call interest.

    Introvert is afraid of new situations, so you need to try to acquaint the child with them not sharply. If the crumb goes to kindergarten or school, you should talk to him about it, tell that there is incredibly interesting and safe, you can learn a lot of new information.

    It should be noted that such children are slow. No need to rush them. It is also important to understand that introverts need to restore energy. It will be better if he will be able to be alone for some time.

    The child introvert needs any hobby that will become an assistant in development. If he likes to design or engage in creativity, it is worth giving the opportunity to do so. But you need to remember that social skills are also important, so you should develop them. It is necessary to make for this a special place where the child will be able to play and rest on his own.

    The most terrible thing for introvert parents is the need to give the kid to the garden and school. Extroverts get acquainted with people without any problems and go to an educational institution with great pleasure. Their opposites need help.

    Methods of preparing a baby for kindergarten.

    • Before the child starts to attend kindergarten, you need to talk about what he is and why the child needs to go there.
    • First, you should leave it in the garden for a few hours, so that the baby becomes accustomed to the situation, has a little chat with other children and has shown interest in toys. Introvers are hard to get used to new places, so they need to be given some time to adapt. Adaptation is an important aspect.
    • After the child has been in the group, you should ask about what he was doing there, with whom he spoke, what kind of interesting information he learned.
    • It is important to carefully and carefully choose a caregiver, since such children will not be able to endure careless and rude treatment. Such an attitude towards them can increase the stress and internal stress of the baby. The work of the teacher with a preschooler is extremely important.

    Many parents try to protect their children from experiences and do not send them to the garden. This option is good enough if the child attends a variety of developmental activities in which he can learn to communicate with other children and develop the necessary skills. If he interacts only with his parents and other relatives, a large number of problems will arise from this when the baby is older and goes to school.

    How to help prepare for school?

    Sending crumbs to school is a responsible and important point. Children should be able to serve themselves independently, calmly respond to any new situations and interact with people (as far as possible). It will be better if the child calmly reacts to school and peers.

    Some useful recommendations.

    • Children should be told that they have become more mature and now they need to go to school.
    • It should carefully find out whether there is fear. If so, discuss it and reassure.
    • It is not recommended to intimidate introverts with lessons, evil teachers, various difficulties, as this will affect the emotional state. On the first day, such babies will be under great stress.
    • We must try to prepare with the children. Visit the shops, choose a beautiful portfolio, purchase other necessary things.
    • The condition of the baby depends on the right choice of school. It is better to give the child where the individuality of each child is taken into account, rather than working with all children on the same principle.
    • It is better to develop talents and encourage the child to reach for knowledge.

    Recommendations for interacting with children

    In order to properly educate the child, you must take into account the peculiarities of character. If the kid wants to shut up, do not force him to talk. Being alone with themselves, introverts restore vital energy. When they communicate, she is wasted. Therefore, when children come from any event where it’s noisy, they want to shut up and rest. Do not try to find out about their impressions.

    It is extremely difficult for such children to get used to the new situation, so you should be calm about the fact that it’s pretty hard for the kid to get used to new teams. If the crumb goes somewhere to visit with their parents, you need to let the baby play away from everyone, if the company has a large number of unfamiliar children. When he gets used to them, he will quickly join the group. It is important not to try to push.

    Little introvert - not a reason to worry. If you actively help him, the necessary skills in communication will appear. A variety of talents, which these children are quite a lot, will be able to find expression in creative activities. It is necessary to pay attention to the independence of the child, to help him and try to arouse interest in society. Parents should be a strong support for the baby, as the unfamiliar world scares him.
