Humor Video: Caring for an Introvert
This is a humorous video about 12 behaviors that introverts usually dislike... quite a bit. The extravert in the video is way over the top but don't let that hinder the good points being made:

- Respect their need for privacy
- Never embarrass them in public
- Let them observe first in new situations
- Give them time to think. Don't demand instant answers.
- Don't interrupt them
- Give them notice of expected changes in their life
- Give them 15 minutes warning to finish what they are doing before moving to the next activity
- Reprimand them privately (Note: I also generally like private rewards as well.)
- Teach them to use new skills privately rather than in public
- Enable them to find one best friend who has similar interests and abilities
- Do not push them to make a lot of friends
- Respect their introversion. Do not try to make them into extraverts. (!!!!)
