[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. I'm INTP.

OP, specific to your concerns, I really don't have many emotional needs. Tell me once a day "I love you" and praise me when I do or say something particularly clever, and you're meeting all of them. My mom was great at giving me space growing up (I had a lot of hobbies, one of which -- coding -- became a career) and my DH is pretty good at it, too. I like snuggling and having in-depth conversations once in a while, but too often is tiring and suffocating.

Don't plan up her day too much, let her self-direct as much as possible[b], and allow her to opt out of social events if they aren't of high importance [/b](e.g., she can opt out of a BBQ to stay inside and read, but she can't opt out of Thanksgiving!).[/quote]

I disagree with this part completely. I think it does a major disservice to a child to not expose them and get them used to cultural norms. Even though I may be happier to recharge on my own, I am perfectly content to go to a dinner or event etc. and interact with people, even strangers -- because I was not allowed to go hide in my room as a child. With the exception of a few solitary geniuses, most people need social and people skills, regardless of whether they're an E or an I. Just being I does not mean you cannot be a pleasant and socially adept person.[/quote]
