- Synopsis
- A practical, research-based guide that demystifies giftedness and learning differences in order to help &“twice exceptional&” children thrive.Does your child exhibit giftedness and behavioral issues like meltdowns, power struggles, and difficulty relating to their peers? Are they out-of-the-box thinkers requiring different teaching and learning methods? It&’s a widely held misconception that intellectual ability and social and emotional success go hand in hand. In fact, &“twice exceptional&” kids—those who are gifted and have simultaneous learning differences like ADHD, Autism, or dyslexia—are often misunderstood by parents, teachers, and themselves. This much-needed and empowering guide reveals the unique challenges these remarkable kids face, and offers strength-based, hands-on strategies for understanding, supporting, and advocating for twice exceptional kids. In a world that labels them lazy, scattered, attention-seeking, and a problem that can&’t be solved, these tools will help you reimagine the world through your child&’s unique perspective—so you can help them thrive.
