Many friends asked me, "my child is very introverted. What should I do?" Others said, "I'm introverted and so is my child. I don't want him to be so."
So, do introversion and extroversion exist? Can it be a feeling imagined by our brain? Because everyone may feel introverted at some time.
Is there an accurate definition between introversion and extroversion? Dr. Lanny read thousands of psychological, biological and neuroscience materials and interviewed hundreds of introverts. She found that the concepts of introversion and extroversion do exist.
However, introversion and extroversion are not always either. Many people have both introversion and extroversion.
Why do introverted people not like their introverted, and do not want their children to continue introverted? This long-standing misunderstanding comes from the dispute between the so-called three greatest psychologists of the 20th century, Freud, Jung and Adler.
Jung, Adler and Freud had been working together in the field of psychology. Later, the three people were no longer harmonious. Freud, the most influential one, resented the other two. Because Jung and Adler are both introverts, Freud began to belittle introversion and turn the definition of introversion into "too self-centered".
Today, many of our parents are worried about their children's introversion and feel that it is a problem to be solved. They even have to push an introverted child to the stage to give a speech. If you can't speak, you have to practice. You have to turn an introvert into a seemingly lively and outgoing person. This kind of education method will bring a lot of harm and mistakes.
If our child is introverted, how should we give full play to the advantages of introversion instead of changing him into an extrovert.
