As a teacher (and fellow introvert), I found the end of this book particularly helpful with its tips to parents and teachers on how to work with and raise introverted children. I also appreciate that it arms kids with information and understanding so that they don't feel weird or odd because they exhibit behavior that is different from their extroverted counterparts. Kudos to Susan Cain for shedding light on the topic of introverts! I wish I had this information when I was a child. ( ![]() Susan Cain sparked a worldwide conversation when she published Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking. With her inspiring book, she permanently changed the way we see introverts and the way introverts see themselves. The original book focused on the workplace, and Susan realized that a version for and about kids was also badly needed. This book is all about kids' world—school, extracurriculars, family life, and friendship. You’ll read about actual kids who have tackled the challenges of not being extroverted and who have made a mark in their own quiet way. You’ll hear Susan Cain’s own story, and you’ll be able to make use of the tips at the end of each chapter. There’s even a guide at the end of the book for parents and teachers. This insightful, accessible, and empowering book, illustrated with amusing comic-style art, will be eye-opening to extroverts and introverts alike. This is an insightful book aimed at the 12 to 15 year old and perhaps older teen,particularly if they've been struggling with our "one size fits all" education system. As an extension of the topics covered in 'Quiet', this book focuses on older children and teenagers. I was pleased how readable and engaging the style is. Young teens who have an affinity for the introvert label would benefit from the analysis and strategies. A sort of self-help book for introverted kids. Meh. I read this one thinking I might get some insight on how to help my son feel more at ease in loud and crowded settings, but there was nothing earth-shattering here. In fact, there was pretty much nothing that I wouldn't put in the Common Sense category. *shrug* If only this book had been around when I was in junior high! It would have saved me so much emotional agony. The author's tone is reassuring and positive, and each chapter closes with a list of tips relevant to the chapter's theme. There are four parts of the book (School, Socializing, Hobbies and Home); each part has related chapters that address how introverts deal with parties, classroom settings, sports, etc., and how introverts can play to their strengths in each setting. Terrific self-help for teens. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
