Being an introverted child is difficult, especially in an ever-increasingly noisy world. Often viewed as aloof, unmotivated or conceited, introverted children are deeply misunderstood by parents, educators and even their peers. That's where Quiet Kids: Help Your Introverted Child Succeed in an Extroverted World comes in. Designed to provide parents with a blueprint for not only understanding the nature of introversion, Quiet Kids provides specific strategies to teach their children how to thrive in a world that may not understand them. Presented in an easy-to-read, conversational style, the book uses real-world examples and stories from introverts and parents to show parents and educators how to help children develop resiliency and enhance the positive qualities of being an introvert. With specific strategies to address academic performance, bullying, and resiliency, Quiet Kids is a must read for anyone wishing to enhance the lives of introverted children.… (més)

Maybe this is because I am an introverted person myself, but I felt like most of this book's advice is not just applicable to introverted children, but to all children. For instance, 'introverted children function best in an organized and structured environment'. Isn't that basically the conventional wisdom about all kids? I think that most people function best with at least a minimum level of organization. The chapter about resiliency was very helpful - this is something that I'm working to develop in my daughter, who can sometimes get overwhelmed about school problems, or even things that seem like only a minor deal, such as a messy room she needs to clean. I wasn't so sure about the book's 'hula hoop' technique for dealing with this. I think it's often unhelpful to use too many metaphors with kids, at the risk of sounding silly or out of touch. Some people really find these techniques helpful (I do, if I'm on my own), but some find them too silly. It reminds me of the recent Modern Family episode where they all work on 'clearing out their junk drawer.' I bet your introverted son would rather just watch the football game than think about his problems as being inside or outside of a hula hoop. But reading these types of metaphors can still help you to work it out in your own mind, so that later you can discuss this basic idea in a way that will be relevant for your family. There was a lot of good information in the book about how to help your child deal with stress, and why introverts may hold on to more stress than other types of people. I will be returning to this book again and again to help my daughter deal with her school issues, and life stresses. This is definitely a concern that is more on our mind as she rapidly approaches her teenage years. ( )

As the mother of a somewhat introverted (young) child, I was excited to read this book.

I REALLY liked the layout of this book. It's set up more as a work book than a traditional book which made it easier for me to absorb the information and stay interested.

I am a very extroverted person so starting from the very beginning like this book does was incredibly helpful. It explained a lot about how my child(and my introverted husband!)look at things differently than I do. I never realized just how different introverts and extroverts look at life.

There are a lot good practical suggestions that are easy to apply to your family. This will be a book I return to as time goes on and my children get older.

I would definitely recommend this book to any parent who wants to help their child succeed!

Our culture is very much geared towards extroverted people. Not only that, but introverted people are almost constantly being encouraged and, in some cases, pushed to behave like extroverts. Christine Fonseca shows in her helpful book that there is nothing wrong with being an introvert; it is not a learned behavior any more than extroversion is; it is just a matter of temperament. Quiet Kids was initially intended for parents of introverted children, and much of the material is geared towards them; however, in the process of writing the book it became clear to the author that teachers could benefit from this information as well. Consequently, each chapter includes a section directed specifically towards educators.
Ms. Fonseca has made her book very user-friendly. Each chapter includes boxes in which main points and tips are summarized. Many chapters also include self-or-child-diagnostic quizzes, which help the reader identify his or her own preconceived notions, or those of others in the family. She touches on different aspects of life which are affected by one's temperament (ie home, school, social life) and really tries to help parents, whether they are introverts themselves or extroverts, to understand the needs and driving forces at work in the life of an introverted child.

This short book explores the temperament and experiences of introverted children/teens and offers strategies for parents and teachers to help those children thrive at home, at school, and with friends.

It’s an okay book -- one to begin with if you’re new to the topic of introverts/extroverts or are short on time and need insight into your introverted child. Fonseca writes conversationally, with a spirit of helpfulness and a supportive, encouraging tone, primarily to an extrovert-reader audience. Introverted readers (like me) may find recognition in the pages but may be frustrated with the shallow content, strategies that seem abstract, and a “noisy” format -- short chapters with lots of filler and enormous amounts of repetition. For a deeper treatment, I recommend Susan Cain’s excellent Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking. ( )
