In my many years of parenting counselling, I have worked with different types of children, including those who talk a lot and those who talk little. Each of them exhibits different characteristics and talents. Through the cases of the two children, we can get a glimpse of their differences and the possibilities of their future achievements.
Xiao Yue is a little girl who loves to talk, and she always talks non-stop. Whether in class or at home, she always finds her place quickly. She is good at expressing her opinions and is full of life and energy. Her parents were very proud of her performance and were confident about her future. They believe that Xiaoyue's eloquence and social skills are the key to her future success.
Expansion: Xiaoyue's eloquence gives her an edge in communicating with people and giving speeches. Whether at school or in social situations, she is always quick to respond to other people's questions and opinions, and her ability to express herself makes it easier for her to integrate in group activities and build positive relationships with people. Her verbal communication skills have led her to excel in problem-solving, collaborative projects, and innovative activities. Her parents realized that their daughter's future could be tied to her communication skills, so they encouraged her to participate in debates and speaking engagements. The experience in the debate club and public speaking competition not only developed and improved her oral presentation skills, but also exercised her thinking and critical thinking skills. In addition, they will take her to various exhibitions and lectures to increase her knowledge and enrich her perspective.
Children who love to talk, like Xiaoyue, tend to have outstanding strengths in verbal expression and socialization. Their quick reflexes and flexible thinking allow them to adapt better to change and are more likely to function in group activities. However, they also face some challenges. In the modern educational environment, many schools place more emphasis on verbal participation and group work, which can cause difficulties for children who are not good at communicating. Studies have found that teachers tend to underestimate the academic abilities and intelligence of quiet children. This means that children who love to talk may be more likely to be perceived and recognized in certain situations, but other types of talents and potential may be overlooked.
Expansion: In other ways, children who love to talk may face some difficulties. Since their minds are usually flexible, this can lead to them being more susceptible to distractions and distractions. They may prefer to communicate with others and may not be good enough at completing tasks alone or concentrating. As a result, they may need to learn how Xi balance time for communication and personal reflection to improve their concentration and self-directed Xi skills. At the same time, children who love to talk also need to learn to listen and respect the opinions of others. Their parents and educators should guide them and develop their listening skills and thinking skills to help them understand and appreciate diversity more fully.
Xiaojie is a non-talkative child, he likes to read and think alone. Whether at school or at home, he always spends his time quietly in the corner. His parents sometimes worry that his introverted personality will hinder his future development. However, they also noticed that Jay excelled in handling thought-intensive tasks, which gave them confidence in his potential.
Extended: Children who don't like to talk, like Jay, often prefer to think for themselves and engage in fragmented activities such as reading, puzzle-solving, and art-making. Their introverted nature makes them more suitable for working and Xi in a quiet and less stimulating environment. They may have outstanding strengths in problem-solving, discovering new ideas, and focus. This trait is highly valuable for professions and fields that require deep thinking and independent research, such as scientists, artists, and researchers.
Introverted children, like Jay, may feel comfortable in small areas of socialization and class discussions, but they may have more difficulty in socializing and expressing themselves on a larger scale. However, they may excel in independent thinking and personal creativity. Their introspection and independence allow them to think deeply, think about things from different perspectives, and discover new solutions. These characteristics give them an advantage in solving complex problems and engaging in deep Xi.
Extension: To help non-talkative children reach their full potential, their parents and educators can provide the following supports: First, create a quiet and private Xi environment where they have the time and space to think and process issues independently. Second, encourage them to participate in personal creative activities that are appropriate for them, such as writing, drawing, and **. These activities can help them express their inner emotions and thoughts, and develop their creativity and presentation skills. In addition, like children who love to talk, children who do not love to talk need to learn to cooperate and communicate with others. Their parents and educators should help them develop social skills and listening skills so that they can better collaborate and cooperate with others.
In my years of parenting counselling, I have found that children who love to talk and children who don't have their own strengths and challenges have their own strengths and challenges. Children who love to talk have more prominent strengths in verbal expression and socialization, while children who do not like to talk excel in independent thinking and deep Xi. To help them develop and reach their full potential, their parents and educators should provide appropriate support and guidance based on the child's personality and characteristics. They should develop the listening skills and thinking skills of children who love to talk, helping them to work better with others in group activities. At the same time, they should also provide a quiet and private Xi learning environment for children who do not like to talk, and encourage them to think independently and pursue personal creativity. Only in this way can we better meet the needs of different types of children and promote their all-round development and achievement.
