[quote=Anonymous]I have two kids, both high school aged teens. One has always had an active social life in the summer from early elementary until now. She would fill every minute of every day if it was up to her. In elementary, she was asking me to arrange playdates. In early iMessage years, they coordinated plans. Now she makes plans on her own. My other kid, even though driving age, is the opposite, and rarely sees kids in the summer and is content. He’s more content with being home. Yes, now that he’s driving he gets together more often with friends but it’s nothing like his sister. Before this he could go weeks without hanging out socially and be content. During the school year he is happy with the social interaction at school and a sport and that’s plenty for him with occasionally getting together with going out to eat with friends. It isn’t a boy/girl thing and for them, more an introvert extrovert thing. [/quote]
