[quote=Anonymous]I was an introvert. I still made plans with friends, just less often and fewer but closer friends. The ability to organize plans and invite is a skill. One you have to practice. And yes kids need to be pushed to work that muscle. It can be less often than extroverts but the longer they go not practicing it the worse anxiety about it gets. It’s the same reason that kids given more freedom (like walking to school, walking with friends to the park etc) when younger are more confident and less anxious overall. I’d be most concerned with the 16 yo - not even texting friends shows that she is lacking connections in her life. Hopefully the job helps. [/quote]
