development experts tell us, but being

popular isn’t necessary. Many introverted

kids grow up to have excellent social

skills, although they tend to join

groups in their own way—waiting a

while before they plunge in, or participating

only for short periods. That’s OK.

Your child needs to acquire social skills

and make friends, not turn into the

most gregarious student in school. This

doesn’t mean that popularity isn’t a lot

of fun. You’ll probably wish it for him,

just as you might wish that he have

good looks, a quick wit, or athletic talent.

But make sure you’re not imposing

your own longings, and remember that

there are many paths to a satisfying

life.
