[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much quiet, shy kids bore/annoy us. DH and I are both outgoing and all our kids are outgoing. Thank god. Never really noticed/realized until we compared them to other kids who have an issue coming out of their shell, especially during covid.[/quote]

This is weird.  Quiet kids annoy you? [/quote]

Uhhm maybe annoy is too strong. Kids who you really have to bring out of their shell, or who are very shy/don't talk. [b]Not talking special needs here[/b]- just kids without a lot of personality I think is weird because it's the antithesis of what being a kid should be. I'll just say I 'get' more vocal kids and it's easier to know what they are thinking/how they are feeling/what they need and to have fun hanging with them/bonding/communicating, etc. I don't go around hating quiet kids, I just appreciate that ours are outgoing- not hyper or motormouths, but able to converse/share ideas and keep it going.[/quote]

...but how do you know if the child doesn't have special needs? So many special needs are invisible or not readily apparent.

I know a beautiful, sweet, and intelligent child who is working very hard to overcome a severe language disorder. He presents as very shy/reserved and tends to use shorter sentences because he has better control over his speech with shorter phrases and that way most folks don't suspect any issues. I'm sure you would characterize him as "boring" and someone you have to work hard to "bring him out of his shell". What an unbecoming look for you, PP.
