With 2e children, the key to supporting them is to always lead with their strengths.

- Adam Laningham

 

Series description:

Gifted & Struggling - Twice-Exceptional Children has been revamped and republished as Twice-Exceptional Children: From Struggling to Thriving!
Our book series allows for positive collaborations between all stakeholders through a consistent use of conceptual definitions, philosophy, pedagogy, and applications. This allows for a common starting point to understand, communication, and servicing the needs of students holistically through robust fruitful discussions between stakeholders. What happens at home impacts the school and the reverse is true.

Main points of the series

  1. Lead with gifts - your child is gifted first!
  2. A twice-exceptional learner/child is always an interaction between high abilities (yellow) and complex challenges (blue).
  3. NEST! Perspective as a human development guiding framework to nurture sustainable growth and wellbeing across our developmental lifespan.


Review from 2enews.com November 2023:
Gifted & Struggling – Twice-Exceptional Children Series offers an invaluable addition to the field of twice-exceptionality. Through their collaborative approach, these authors have crafted a resource that empowers parents and educators to engage meaningfully in the journey of 2e children. The series inspires a culture of self-compassion and reflection, fostering a more immersive and affirming 2e community. As we embark on a path toward enhanced understanding and tailored support for these exceptional children, What Our Parents Need to Know and What Our Teachers & Schools Need to Know stand as beacons of insight, inviting us to join hands in nurturing holistic well-being of every 2e child.

This book helped me clear up some preconceived notions I had about gifted kids.

It helped me understand how gifted kids have different needs, that when addressed will really help them flourish instead of struggle through challenges.

Very helpful examples are presented that helped me understand complex concepts that usually only educators understand.

Highly recommend!

Finally, a book that addresses the needs of parents advocating for 2e children! This book is a quick and easy read (I read it in a day) that is part of a larger series addressing 2e topics. Professional perspectives from gifted and 2e education and human development psychology, along with 2e parent experiences, promote positive psychology, a strength-based educational approach, and social/emotional health for 2e families. Each chapter includes reflection questions with spaces to jot notes, enhancing deeper understanding and relevance for one's unique 2e child/experience - the most valuable feature of this book. This is must-read introductory book for parents of 2e.
