I came across an interesting piece on introverted children in the classroom. As the parent of a quiet child, it concerns me that my daughter may be overlooked and underestimated.
This is, of course, the experience of many introverted people -- children and adults alike. In workshops I have given on introversion, I hear story after story of people who have grown up to believe that their introversion is a defect and a source of shame.
To begin to counter this I have put together a workshop called the Joy of Introversion. It is not only the emotional lives of introverts that are affected by our extroverted bias, but our whole relation to the inner life of imagination, creativity and dreams.
