What are strategies for helping an introverted child socialize?

  1. Respect Their Boundaries: Don’t force them into social situations but gently encourage involvement.
  2. Offer Smaller Gatherings: Arrange one-on-one playdates or small group activities to reduce overwhelm.
  3. Praise Small Steps: Acknowledge when they participate in a new social activity.
  4. Encourage Hobbies: Finding a hobby they love can help them connect with others with similar interests.
