We introverts want to give our kids a magical holiday season, but we don’t have to exhaust ourselves in the process.

Parenting can be overstimulating, especially for introverts. Being intentional about what gets your energy is key.

Instead of rushing to label your introverted kid as “shy,” normalize quiet moments and restorative alone time.

With kids, there’s no need for small talk. Unlike with grown-ups, being silent around kids won’t feel awkward.

It’s crucial to make time for yourself, despite the around-the-clock needs of your newborn.

Not all introverted kids are shy, but many of them do experience shyness.

Being a single parent is not easy, especially if you’re an introvert. But letting go of the “perfect parent” ideal can help.

Being a stepparent is like parenting under a microscope, so leaning into your strengths as an introvert is key.

Show your introverted child that quiet is beautiful and powerful, not an “abnormality” that needs to be fixed.

Some teachers still see quiet introverts as “broken extroverts” who need to be fixed.
