So parents, an article in Newsweek informs us, if your child is "pathologically" introverted (God help me), just encourage the extroverted tendencies that you want and all will be well. Otherwise, he will be socially unacceptable.
It sounds so easy, doesn't it? Does that feel like 1958 to you?
It implies that we're all socially and emotionally smart and it's just those pesky introverts that are causing US problems, and occassionally, mass murders.
How about we suggest educating PARENTS to actively seek and learn about what it means to be socially and emotionally healthy, and then it will rub off? A good start, and the only start, I think.

Exactly Educate the parents so they can help their children! Good post!
Why doesn't more people speak out on this?
If they did maybe things would change.
Introverts of the world, unite and take over!
