[quote=Anonymous]I’m an extrovert and my kid is very much an introvert. She prefers to play alone at recess, doesn’t love play dates, prefers not to vacation with other families, etc. she’s a great kid and plays well with others on the occasions that she does socialize, but she’d rather be reading. I know it’s selfish, but it really does limit my social opportunities too (e.g. she has no desire to go on a neighborhood ski trip or meet up with friends at a park). We are in the phase of life in which our friends often want to socialize with kids—hiking, apple picking, skiing, etc. Of course, we still sometimes see friends for dinners out without kids, but her lack of desire to hang with other families means that most weekend days don’t include any socializing for me. I love my kid for who she is and I don’t put a ton of pressure on her to socialize more than she desires….but it’s a bummer for me. Can anyone else relate? [/quote]
