She certainly seems more introverted than your other girls. <br /><br />I agree with Lindy that it's great you respect her different approach to adventure. It took me a little while to understand that Caleb is not as adventurous as I expected my little boy to be.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03179852745286335505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342567374975864218.post-34432430803549376712011-06-08T17:24:58.583-04:002011-06-08T17:24:58.583-04:00I don't have any answers!

LOL <br /><br />It sounds like Ivy has a different temperment than the other children. Perhaps Ivy is more introverted. Introverts are people would get overstimulated by too much interaction with others, loud noises, crowds, etc. (I know because I am one.) I could only take so much of what you describe and then I would be wiped out. It's wonderful that you are so respectful of who she is.Lindy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13984113867345995064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342567374975864218.post-67443092338632019362011-06-07T22:57:02.079-04:002011-06-07T22:57:02.079-04:00hmmm...it's so interesting how people are diff...hmmm...it's so interesting how people are different from one another. Two of my girls are slower-paced (more like me!), and my other daughter is full of energy and excitement. It took me awhile to learn to appreciate her personality. Now, I love that she is different than I am! <br /><br />Also, if you haven't already looked into Karyn Purvis' research, she has some great things to say about the fear response and felt safety for kids from tough places. I'm not sure if this would apply to Ivy or not, but it could help you to understand her a bit more.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04455698547207302964noreply@blogger.com
