The Hidden Gifts of the Introverted Child by Marti Olsen Laney:
He needs a safe interaction, in which you listen without discounting his thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and questions. He will learn, "My ideas are worth listening to." Dialogue is a powerful strategy to affirm, broaden, and encourage even very young innies.
This was a good book for me to better understand Bode and myself. It was a good feeling when I read things that I already knew--in the sense that I felt like I might be in tune to my child afterall...I sometimes flip open to a random page just in hopes that something will be there to help me be more patient!!
Alas, I don't think there's anyone left to tag! For those of you who troll this blog without commenting (Erin and Shannon!) feel free to start commenting (or go ahead and start your own blog)! :)

That sounds like a great book for me - I think Ben is an "innie" too. We really should get those boys together, both innies and serious chubby bunny contenders!!
