Summary: A discussion of the
power of introverts for kids and teens with a focus on school, family life, and
friendship.
Review: I read
“Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking,” by Susan
Cain, who is the same author of this book about the same subject matter for
kids and teens. The book she wrote for adults is inspiring and brilliant, and I
wanted to see if she did just as well with this book…and she did.
This book will be helpful for any child who is introverted
or shy and for the parents and teachers who are a part of their lives. There’s
a parent and a teacher section in the back of the book that is very helpful,
along with all the points and encouragement throughout the text.
The author lists ten manifestos for our young introverts
that will empower and guide them on how to use their abilities as strengths. I
liked how it was pointed out that there’s a difference between shyness and
introverted and on how it’s okay to not be an extrovert. All of her tips and
encouragement are divided in four helpful categories: school, socializing,
hobbies, and home.
