Young Introverts: "Quiet" for Kids
It seems like, at one time, everyone was reading Susan Cain's book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking.
Now, she's written a book specifically about introverted teens. It's called Quiet Power: The Secret Strengths of Introverts (Dial Books, 2016).
In it, the former corporate lawyer and negotiations consultant continues her defense of introverts, now with issues that affect teens and kids in schools and social milieus that might favor their more outgoing peers.
@BrianLehrer,Parent of former introvert who was also shy. We pushed her to express herself. I think correctly. World doesnt value the silent
