Episode 2493: Jana Rooheart highlights four common missteps, including expecting detailed conversations when a child prefers brevity, intruding too much into their private world, forcing social interactions, and intervening in friendships. By respecting their child's need for space and embracing their natural tendencies, extroverted parents can foster a more supportive and understanding relationship. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://introvertdear.com/news/introverted-kids-mistakes-extroverted-parents-make/ Quotes to ponder: "Introverts often don't know what's worth mentioning in conversation, so you may have to be more concrete and creative." "A parent shouldn't demand a border pass into an introvert's private space as a payment for everything they have done for the kid." "Introverts have a right to be their true selves, to get energy from their own sources, to value things that matter only to them, and to make friends with people they really like."

One of the most common themes I come across when talking to writers is the frustration of being a creative, sensitive person… but wanting to build a successful business and doing all the things that requires. In some ways, that's the eternal question for creative people: how do you balance art and commerce? That's a huge question we can't answer in one episode, but I'm thrilled to bring you a conversation with someone who can absolutely point us in the right direction. Jenn Granneman is the co-author, along with her co-writer Andre Sólo, of the new book Sensitive: The Hidden Power of the Highly Sensitive Person in a Loud, Fast, Too-Much World. She's also the author of The Secret Lives of Introverts. Both of these are wonderful books for writers! Jenn is the founder of the popular website Introvert Dear, and she has dedicated her life to writing about topics like sensitivity and introversion after she realized how difficult it was to navigate a world that favors extroversion and insensitivity. She wrote her blog anonymously for almost two years because, as an introvert, she had no desire to be in the spotlight. Today, her mission is to empower introverts and sensitive people to embrace their innate strengths, and to start seeing their nature as a good thing. She's been featured in The New York Times, CNBC, The Guardian, and more. Sensitive was named an Amazon Editor's Pick for Best Nonfiction. In this conversation, we dive into topics from her new book. Jenn and I talk about the Sensitive Boost Effect, the connection between being an introvert and a sensitive person, advice for people who are worn out by social media and Zoom calls, advice for sensitive people and introverts on building a business, and much more.

Everyone has a sensitive side, but nearly one in three people have the genes to be more sensitive than others, both physically and emotionally. They tend to be big hearted, creative, and wired to go deep. Yet society tells them to hide the very sensitivity that makes them this way. Today's guest is Jenn Granneman, author of the new book SENSITIVE: The Hidden Power of the Highly Sensitive Person in a Loud, Fast, Too-Much World. In this episode, we will talk about: What it actually means to be a sensitive person and a highly sensitive person How to navigate the world on whatever level of the sensitivity spectrum you fall on The (genius!!) word Jenn suggests to describe "sensitive," especially when explaining your sensitivity to others How to avoid feeling bitter about others' lack of sensitivity How to pre-manage events you know will be harder on your sensitivity (ie parties or a day at the office) Why certain self-care practices might work the opposite way you intend them to work for sensitive people, and why some might actually work way better and more efficiently and so much more!! Take notes, pass this along to another highly sensitive (or as I call it, spongy) person in your life, or maybe even give it to a loved one to help them understand your own sensitivity. ABOUT JENN: Jenn Granneman is the founder of the world's largest online community for introverts, Introvert Dear, and the cofounder of Highly Sensitive Refuge.

Visit our website, talkingtoteens.com, to sign up for our newsletter so you'll never miss an episode!When a teen slams a door after not getting their way, or bursts into tears at a throwaway comment, parents might feel like every interaction with their teen ends in hysterics. Other times parents might worry their sensitive teen will have trouble making friends or being in groups because they are easily overwhelmed. But sensitivity, shyness, and introversion are not flaws. It can be difficult for parents to see their teen struggling with sensitivity. They may feel frustrated or helpless, not knowing how to help their child. It can also be difficult for them to relate to their child's experience if they themselves are more extroverted and don't fully understand what it's like to be shy or introverted.Children who are sensitive may be at higher risk for anxiety and depression, and may struggle with social skills throughout their lives if they don't receive proper support. It's important for parents to help their child build confidence and develop social skills, not just for their immediate well-being but for their long-term success and happiness.To understand more about this topic, we spoke with Jenn Granneman, co-author of the book Sensitive: The Hidden Power of the Highly Sensitive Person in a Loud, Fast, Too-Much World, and founder of Introvert, Dear, a website and community for introverts. Jenn is an introvert herself and has struggled with shyness and social anxiety throughout her life. She has dedicated her career to helping other introverts embrace their true selves and thrive in a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming to them.Introverted, or Just Shy?To better understand shyness and introversion, Jenn Granneman explains the difference between the two. While shyness is a fear of social judgment, introversion is a preference for solitude and reflection. Jenn notes that shyness is often seen as a negative trait, but she argues that it is simply a personality trait like any other. However, shyness can lead to negative consequences such as missing out on opportunities and feeling isolated.Introversion, on the other hand, is often misunderstood as being shy, but it is not the same thing. Introverts can be confident and social, but they simply prefer to spend time alone or in small groups. Jenn notes that society often values extroversion over introversion, which can lead to introverts feeling like they don't fit in or are not as valued.Jenn emphasizes that shyness and introversion are not things that need to be "fixed" or "cured." Rather, it's important to understand and accept these traits in ourselves and others. By doing so, we can create a more inclusive and understanding society.To help parents understand their shy or introverted children, Jenn suggests paying attention to their child's behavior and respecting their boundaries. She notes that introverted children may need more alone time to recharge, while shy children may need more encouragement and support to face their fears.Supporting a Sensitive ChildSupporting a sensitive child can be challenging, but there are ways to help them thrive. By validating your child's feelings, creating a safe environment, teaching coping strategies, and seeking outside support when needed, parents can help their sensitive children thrive and lead fulfilling lives.First, it's important to validate their feelings and let them know it's okay to be sensitive. This can help them feel accepted and understood, which can boost their confidence. Creating a safe and comfortable environment at home is also crucial. Sensory-sensitive children may need a quiet space to relax, while socially-sensitive children may benefit from smaller social settings. It's important to respect your child's boundaries and not force them to do things that make them uncomfortable. Parents can also help their sensitive children develop coping strategies, such as deep breathing, visualization, and positive self-talk. Encouraging creative outlets, such as art or writing, can also be helpful for self-expression.Finally, it's important to seek outside support when necessary. A therapist or counselor can work with your child to develop coping mechanisms and build self-esteem, while support groups can provide a community of like-minded individuals who can offer advice and encouragement.In the Episode…I learned so much from my conversation with Jenn, and as an introvert I came away from our conversation with a better idea of my own needs as well as those of sensitive teens. In our conversation we also discuss: How to utilize loving detachment The different types of sensitivity What a relationship deficit The right time to push a sensitive out of their comfort zone If you enjoyed Jenn's contributions as much as I, you can find her on social media as well as her two websites, Introvert Dear and Sensitive Refuge.
