Introverts vs. Extroverts (and Making Room for Both in Your Family)
Description
What makes us introverts or extroverts– and why do so many of us choose our total opposites for our parenting partners? In this episode we talk about the myths of introverts and extroverts, why opposites attract, and how to parent kids who are also your total opposites.
In this episode, Amy and Margaret discuss:
- The ways that introverts and extroverts solve problems
- How they navigate being the opposite of their partners
- How to advocate for your kids depending on their social orientation
