Not a shy bone in her body! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-extrovert-kids#post-2280767 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 17:03:36 +0000 HLK208 2280767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>B is an extrovert and it was so easy to get him to laugh as a baby! N also seems like an extrovert and the same goes.</p> <p>E didn't laugh easily as a baby and she's an introvert! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-extrovert-kids#post-2280717 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 16:07:25 +0000 lady baltimore 2280717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: I can see both interpretations, it's just that my mind went the other way first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-extrovert-kids#post-2280435 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 12:14:31 +0000 Raindrop 2280435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lady baltimore: I thought it was the opposite too!</p> <p>The more I thought about it the more it made sense. </p> <p>For Introverts... if we are over stimulated it's drains our energy. To be happy (and laugh) just a little stimulus is enough especially from people we know.</p> <p>For Extroverts... we needs more stimulus to get energy so a little stimulus is not enough for us. We need more more more!! to get us excited and laugh.</p> <p>When you are a baby your personality is basically at the rawest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-extrovert-kids#post-2280412 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 11:48:54 +0000 lady baltimore 2280412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Funny, if anything, I would have had the opposite interpretation: he's not looking for input from others to influence his emotional state, must be an introvert! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-extrovert-kids#post-2280402 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 11:38:41 +0000 kodybear 2280402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my son is an extrovert and its really easy to make him laugh. my daughter is an introvert and it took a bit to get her to laugh as an infant. as a toddler its not as hard to get her to laugh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-extrovert-kids#post-2280390 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 11:30:48 +0000 Raindrop 2280390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow I'm impressed how right down the middle this is. I guess how easy or hard it is to get your baby to laugh doesn't mean anything. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-extrovert-kids#post-2280309 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 10:28:34 +0000 Truth Bombs 2280309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really easy to get LO to laugh and she's a total extrovert. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-extrovert-kids#post-2280299 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 10:23:39 +0000 raintreebee 2280299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a total giggle box.

Introvert. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-extrovert-kids#post-2280065 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 08:23:12 +0000 Alivoo01 2280065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS laughed from really early on in infancy, and I loved it. He's still a go-easy, has a good time, and loves to laugh at 2. It's so easy to make him laugh too. It cracks me up because I'm like that wasn't funny, but if that makes you laugh, alrighty then! DS is pretty shy around new people and surroundings until he warms up to ya. So I'd say he's an introvert.</p> <p>We're expecting #2 and this has been a topic of thought for me. I actually voiced this to DH the other night. I wonder if s/he will be as easy and happy going as DS?? I think I'd be kind of sad if s/he wasn't, but I'm interested to see what kind of personality s/he develops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-extrovert-kids#post-2280054 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 08:20:15 +0000 blackbird 2280054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know a lot of very serious children, but I know a lot of VERY introverted engineers, so there's that :) Both of my kids smile and laugh easily, but E has developed introverted tendencies as a toddler. She'll play by herself for very long periods of time, all alone, for example. And after a very busy day with other people, I often find that she retreats into her room for some quiet solo time and kicks us out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-extrovert-kids#post-2279934 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 05:08:56 +0000 illumina 2279934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really hard to get her to smile and laugh as a baby, but at almost 2 she laughs all the time. I still class her as an introvert now because she can be quite shy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-extrovert-kids#post-2279919 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 02:05:48 +0000 shopaholic 2279919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was smiling and laughing on Day 2. Total extrovert! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-extrovert-kids#post-2279766 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 20:28:55 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2279766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is such a funny post, partly cause that was so true with my son! We could never get him to smile or laugh on demand, now at 3.5 it's still a struggle to get him to smile for photos, but he is such an extrovert! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/introvert-extrovert-kids#post-2279733 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 20:01:05 +0000 Raindrop 2279733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first kid ... so easy to get him to laugh as a baby.</p> <p>Second kid... nope he's such a serious baby. He does laugh but it takes a lot of extra effort. Most of the time he gives us a pity laugh!</p> <p>I was talking about this to a friend of mine and she says she thinks my second kid is an extrovert because he needs more simulation to get excited. </p> <p>I thought that was an interesting theory. I'm going to take a poll!</p> <p>I know most people don't know if their kids are introverts or extroverts yet but maybe take a guess? :) </p>
