[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a very fraught answer on DCUM and there used to be some troll nanny posters who made up fake stories about daycare (Jeff caught one of them years ago) so you can’t trust what you read entirely.

One thing I will say as a parent who agonized about childcare when my kids were young and had been a SAHM, your child will give you a sense of what is best. I had a good friend whose child never adjusted to daycare and life was better for all of them when they switched to a nanny. Meanwhile I started with a nanny and would come home to a toddler who was climbing the walls because his energy hadn’t been fully dissipated. And my nanny was good, and came highly recommended, but even she said “your kid has more energy than any other toddler I’ve cared for.” We switched him to a daycare with a focus on outdoor play and movement and he was much, much happier.

My kid is now a recruited college athlete with multiple team offers who still has more energy than most people. A quiet nanny who did mellow park visits and games at home was just never going to be a good personality match. My friend with the child who never adjusted? That kid is now going to college to study programming and is still a quiet homebody.

When your kids are young, these choices are hard, but trust your instincts. You can start with one direction and then go in another if it doesn’t work. It will be okay! There are both great daycares and great nannies and you will find your path. [/quote]

Maybe that quiet kid needed mental health screenings with a professional. It's not his fault.[/quote]

But I do know lots of shy and quiet successful people, thet are working for the government, federal reserve, some of them are bosses. 
Most shy people or introverts puts a disguise and talks clear and loud at their jobs like my friend who works for the government. No better than a loud person who fakes short talk and just wants to be the attention .....re.

He's rich, has a nice house and backyard and is a gamer, likes anime. 
There's many anime fans and gamers working in the government haha
