Differentiation and Introverts

I loved Mary's newsletter contribution about the art of differentiation. As the mother of an introvert, I often think about how much togetherness we expect from kids. I recently read a blog post about the importance of differentiationfor adults in group process, organizations and meetings. Lisa, from the Interaction Institute for Social Change suggests that most typical set-ups privilege extroverts. Designing spaces for kids or adults that truly honors a persons need for alone time can be hard, and goes against the current emphasis on collaborative work. I'm curious about how others organize family time, or work time or the school day to honor the introvert that lives in all of us?
