Quiet: The Power of Introverts with Susan Cain

My youngest child is an introvert and at times in my life so am I. Susan Cain's book and podcast has not only changed the way I parent him but, also how I view and treat myself. With a new prospective I quit projecting my fears onto him and this has allowed him to flourish into the beautiful orchid that he is.

I have a quiet kid and found this podcast to be very engaging and informative with a combination of personal stories and expert opinions. The 3 tips provided at the end of each segment give you practical steps and advice to take away and build into everyday life. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone with a quiet child of their own at home.

As an introvert it's great to see someone delving into my world and showing how all of the ways I see the world are normal and not "wrong" as I often thought as I was growing up. As a parent to two young children this is a great resource to identify if your child is an introvert and help them thrive in a world that sees extroversion as the "norm."

This is one of the only podcasts that I don't get distracted part way through, and have to rewind. I have been eagerly awaiting every episode!
