Hello everyone, I'm here to explain pediatric knowledge to you again!
Today we are going to talk about the character of the child.
Many parents are about to ask: "My child is introverted, is it good?"
It may be that in school, teachers prefer cheerful children, and when asked about the shortcomings of students, the so-called "introversion" becomes a disadvantage.
But in my opinion, introversion is not a disadvantage, let me tell you a case so you can know it.
I used to see a kid Xiao Ming, who was a typical "homebody" kid with a strong interest in video games, and couldn't wait to return home after school every day to immerse himself in the virtual game world.
His parents tried many times to get him to spend less time playing and more outdoor activities, but Xiao Ming always used academic pressure as an excuse to ignore him.
But when Xiao Ming grew up, he chose to major in computer science, and he used the logical thinking and hand-eye coordination skills he exercised in the game to show an amazing talent in programming.
So, is it better to be introverted or extroverted?
Let's talk about the children who "love home" and "go out to surf", who will be more promising in the future?
First, let's talk about "introversion" vs. "extroversion"
Psychologists have shown that those children who do not like to talk and like to be alone are "introverts" when brought into our real life.
And those children who are happy and active every day are called "extroverts".
Introverts tend to draw energy from the inner world, they enjoy their time alone, think deeply, and immerse themselves in their thoughts and feelings.
They are generally cautious and conservative, and respond more gently and restrained to external stimuli.
Introverts are able to show more enthusiasm and energy when socializing with a small group of people close to them.
They may experience stress and discomfort when faced with complex social situations.
The opposite of an introvert is an extrovert.
Extroverts get their energy from the outside world, they are keen on social activities, like to socialize with people, and enjoy the excitement and energy of the group.
Extroverts are generally more cheerful and optimistic, they are open to new things, and they respond more positively and directly to challenges.
In social situations, extroverts tend to be the central characters, and their charisma and confidence are able to attract the attention of others.
Psychologist Carl Jung argues that no one is 100% extroverted, and no one is 100% introverted.
Therefore, whether children are introverted or extroverted, it's just that the way of "spiritual charging" is different, and there is not much good or bad.
Children who "love home" and "go out to wave", who will be more promising in the future?
I believe that you already know the answer, the innate character of children does not need to be changed.
Obviously, the child needs to be recharged through "self-retreat and solitude", and you have to run to the person to communicate, which is definitely not okay.
The children of the otaku family, they all like to immerse themselves in their own world.
For example, Bill Gates is quiet and introverted, but he doesn't get bothered by what others say.
So it can be seen that quiet, introverted, where is it a negative synonym?
They are active and creative, and are often able to show amazing talent in a certain field.
If parents have to define "introversion is a bad character" for their children, it will make them feel inferior.
Different from the otaku family, the children of the Lang clan prefer to sweat in the vast world.
Such children need to be recharged by "touching the outside world".
They love nature, hiking, camping and exploring, they are eager to connect with people, make new friends, and participate in clubs and activities.
They are broad-minded, adaptable, and often able to take a leadership role in teamwork.
Psychologists have said that the otaku family and the wandering family are not two opposite extremes, but different manifestations of children's personalities and interests.
The children of the Otaku family need more free space and time to explore their interests and talents, while the children of the Otaku family need more social opportunities and practical experience to exercise their abilities and horizons.
In the society of the future, success will no longer be a single criterion.
Whether it is a house family or a wandering family, as long as they can give full play to their advantages and specialties and find a development path that suits them, it is possible to achieve brilliant achievements.
Therefore, parents and educators should respect their children's individuality and interests, and provide a variety of educational methods and resources so that each child can shine on their own path.
Epilogue:
In conclusion, introversion and extroversion are two important poles on the personality spectrum, each representing a unique psychological trait and pattern of behavior.
Understanding these two personality types not only helps us understand ourselves better, but it also allows us to be more inclusive and understanding of others.
Instead of forcing children to change, we should follow the child's innate character to develop on a more benign path, give children more tolerance and patience, and let children recharge themselves in a way that suits them!
In this diverse world, let's appreciate the difference between introverts and extroverts, so that children can create a more colorful future.
