Can you tell if your baby is introverted?
I did a google search on babies and introverts and came up with many sites with info from Nancy R. Fenn and she gives signs of introversion (is that a word?)
Both DH and I are introverted, I think I have learned to act more extroverted or land more to the middle, but is this something that is hereditary or learned?
I wonder because we are noticing a few thing about our DD:
* At daycare she is happier with less children (or more quiet) and she is ok with a full room if it is quiet.
* She takes a while to warm up to people and she definitly stares intently at them - won't babble or smile at then at until she warms up to them (that may be after several visits) She does smile and hug etc.
* Even in a room full of toys that light up, make noise and even move on their own (one does all 3, it bugs the heck out of me!!) DD will pick the simplier toys; blocks, string, stuffed animals etc.
But on reading Nancy Fenn's info she recomends giving an introverted child their owns room and space.
DD does play own her own sometimes but we still co-sleep and baby wear and I wonder if this ok if she is introverted, I especially wear her at parties and new places and she seems ok to me. And she seems to love to co-sleep. I feel confused. Maybe it's just to early to tell.
TIA
