On episode 236, Emily Kircher-Morris and Christine Fonseca discuss emotional intensity in gifted students. They explore the reasons behind this intensity, and how it relates to the giftedness experience. They touch on the concept of overexcitabilities and how they manifest in gifted individuals. Also, they emphasize the importance of understanding and accepting the unique characteristics of gifted children rather than pathologizing them, and of embracing discomfort as part of the journey. Takeaways Gifted students often experience emotional intensity due to their unique brain wiring and the rich and intense experience of the world. It is important to avoid pathologizing giftedness and instead focus on creating optimal learning environments and providing appropriate support for gifted individuals. Living authentically and embracing discomfort can help gifted individuals navigate their intense emotions and make conscious decisions that align with their values and goals. Join the Neurodiversity Podcast Advocacy and Support Group on Facebook. With school starting soon, we have an opportunity for educators to learn more about 2e students by taking our course, Strategies for Supporting Twice-Exceptional Students.

Today is part one of a two-part series with Jennifer Choi of Special Support Services in New York City. She discusses the untapped brilliance of students with Twice Exceptionalities and how they can be supported in the classroom. As a parent of a gifted student with writing challenges, Jenn hired an advocate who is now one of her business partners. They offer assistance to help parents have a voice in educational planning through IEP advocacy, role-playing and skill-building with students, and sharing information with the community. Yet, they remain affordable for single parents.I also share my story of being denied support for my son, who is exceptional in math, yet is average in literacy. He does have several scores that lowered his overall IQ, which impacted his executive function skills. These barriers to self-direction interfered with a unique program that we trialed for him in 7th grade.Reach out to JennWebsite: Special Support ServicesEmail: jenn@specialsupportservices.comToday's Sponsor:Dotterer Educational ConsultingWriting ChallengeMath ChallengeReach out to your host:Cheri Dottererinfo@cheridotterer.com ★ Support this podcast ★

Twice exceptional (2e) students have a foot on both ends of the bell curve. They are highly gifted in some areas and have huge challenges (are neurodivergent) in others.

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are begging with everything we've got for an official Red Ryder, carbine action, 200-shot, range model air rifle, with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time. We watched the 1983 film from Bob Clark, A Christmas Story.We want that air rifle sooo bad, we can't even tell you. And no, we won't shoot our eyes out. That's probably just a myth that someone's mom started because they didn't want to buy their kid the best toy ever made.We should take a page out of Ralphie's book.

Memorable Quote “When we think of strength based learning we're really talking about focusing… where the energy or where the mind goes… everything flows… and a strength based education is just a choice to focus on here, the strength area, and just bring this up knowing that this [the area of deficit] will come to. It's a choice that we make as educators and as mentors, as psychologists, as a therapist, everyone to say, yes, there are these areas, there are these struggle areas, but we also need to focus on developing, primarily, the strength areas, the areas that feel good and know that everything else will follow suit.” – Sam Young “At its core, deficit-based learning… steeps our students… in a space where they are not thriving and it constantly reminds them… of where they're struggling, how they're coming up short and what they're not doing. And that has been shown to have real consequences on their psyche, on their self-worth, on their self-esteem, on confidence and their ability to then be successful in this life. Paradoxically, by helping someone bring the bottom up, so to speak, you're actually harming them.” – Sam Young Resources Young Scholars Academy – home page has link to live open house event! ‘A Very Gifted Christmas' Ebook by Our Gifted Kids A Very Gifted Christmas Live Zoom Webinar (& replay) 5 December 2022 | 07:30 PM Adelaide (South Australia)   Bio Sam Young Samuel Young, MEd, is a growth-minded, two-time Fulbright Scholar and Director of Young Scholars Academy, a strength-based, talent-focused virtual enrichment center that supports twice-exceptional students and their families.

When you picture a gifted child, do you have an image in your mind of a precocious, straight-A student who is the teacher's pet? You may be surprised to learn that not all gifted children do well in school, and if gifted children do not have the parental and educational supports they need, they will likely struggle throughout their lives.  What does it really mean to be gifted? And what do parents of gifted children wish other people understood? Join me for a deep dive conversation with Chris Croll, founder of Loudoun County Parents of Gifted Students and mom to two gifted children. 

Join the conversation with Dr. Jaime Castellano, Professor in the Department of Special Education at Florida Atlantic University, to identify and support students with trauma, toxic stress, and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).

For today's episode, I'm bringing multi-award-winning director, producer and executive film producer, Marc Smolowitz, back on the podcast. It was four years ago that Marc first came on the show to talk about a movie he was working on called The G Word, a feature-length documentary about giftedness that asks the urgent equity question – In the 21st century, who gets to be Gifted in America and Why? Marc is currently working on the post-production of the movie so I wanted to invite him back to talk about what the last 4 years have been like in the giftedness community. What has changed? What are the things we need to be looking out for and what initiatives have been created?AND, I also wanted this show to be a part of celebrating the 2nd annual Gifted / Talented / Neurodiversity Awareness Week, a week-long celebration created by Marc and which is happening this very week. The theme for this year's awareness week is Gifted JOY, and I really love the idea of connecting the concept of joy and empowerment to the conversation surrounding giftedness.Marc Smolowitz is a multi-award-winning director, producer, and executive producer who has been significantly involved in 50+ independent films. His films have been screened at the world's top-tier festivals such as Sundance, Berlin, Venice, Tribeca, Locarno, Chicago, Palm Springs, SF FILM, AFI Docs, IDFA, and DOC NYC, among others.

For many parents, it is a struggle to strike that perfect balance between supporting their child in their area of struggle while also developing areas of talent. This is especially true for 2e, or twice exceptional, kids. It is possible to boost an area of strength and talent while also working on skills that are more challenging and today's guest has developed an exciting program that can help strike that balance. Samuel Young is the founder of Young Scholars Academy, a virtual enrichment program that helps twice-exceptional students to feel seen, nurtured, confident, and happy. Their primary focus is to empower students to develop their interests and talents so that they may lead meaningful, fulfilling lives and be the creative agents of change that our world desperately needs. As a neurodivergent educator, Samuel knows firsthand how it feels to be on the brink of giving up, but through the connection with a mentor, he persevered and is now giving back to others through exciting virtual learning opportunities that are highly engaging and interesting. In this episode, Samuel demonstrates the power of a strong mentorship and why enrichment programs are crucial for 2e students to thrive. His passion for this topic is contagious and this interview will leave you feeling excited, empowered, and inspired.   Show Notes: [2:30] - Samuel explains what is meant by twice exceptional or 2e students. [3:51] - There are three ways of masking which means that there are different ways someone is hiding their talents or deficits. [5:20] - Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. [6:22] - Samuel shares his own experience as a struggling student. [8:18] - Twice exceptional students are underserved because they aren't talked about often. Samuel explains why it is so rewarding to work with 2e students. [10:02] - Instead of being gifted or learning disabled, people can be both. [11:03] - Students are constantly being told what their challenges are; we need to also reinforce their strengths. [12:35] - Key ingredients to support are mentoring and like-minded peers. [13:29] - We love Superman because he has a weakness and a strength. [14:53] - Mentors can say the same thing as parents, but it will land differently for a student because of their similarities and connection. [16:12] - A good mentor is someone who can help students tap into their own voice, profile their own strengths, and allow them to understand their areas of growth. [17:48] - Because they are so asynchronous, social emotional skills may not be developing the same as their peers. [19:49] - Samuel is passionate about reaching marooned 2e students who are not getting the support they need through virtual mentoring. [21:57] - Samuel describes some of the ways he connects students together and demonstrates how they are creating something and truly owning it. [23:17] - If the offered solution to helping students with academics is taking away electives or extracurricular, don't do it. Don't take away something they love. [25:02] - We celebrate the people who are really good at what they love. [26:41] - Samuel describes the programs available at Young Scholars Academy that are not available through schools. [28:31] - There's also a course that creates intuitive writers that can tap into their own voice. [30:01] - Ultimately, it is important to take what students love and promote self-esteem. [33:38] - These are students who are the future of the world and they may be on the brink of giving up. [35:37] - We have to allow youngsters to fail with grace. We all fail and we need to normalize failure. [37:51] - Students are going to fail. We have to prepare them for that and show them how to cope with it and learn from it.   About Our Guest: Samuel Young, MEd, is a growth-minded, two-time Fulbright Scholar and director of Young Scholars Academy, a strength-based, talent-focused virtual enrichment center that supports twice-exceptional students and their families.

Join us to learn more!   Barry Gelston is the president of GHF, Gifted Home Education Forum. They do amazing work with gifted and twice-exceptional families. Barry is an educator through “Mr. Gelston's One Room Schoolhouse,” an online homeschool program focused on providing individualized educational services for gifted and 2E learners. In this episode, we enjoyed discussing how being 2E ourselves led us to the work of helping and supporting 2E families.    Show Highlights: Why Barry is intensely passionate about making a difference by being a positive activist who loves his family and tries hard to be a good person in the world How Barry's personal brand of intensity shows up with constant focus and rumination about one topic at a time and being aware of sensory overload How Barry grew up totally dysregulated as an underachiever with social and emotional issues from being in a divorced family How Barry approached his problems with his attempt at executive functioning skills to become a good student and make more of his life What Barry would say to the adults in his life “back then” Why Barry's work today revolves around what he needed as a 2E child How Barry learned to overcome his reading struggles and dyslexia to become a voracious reader Why wonderful things are happening in strengths-based approaches with 2E students How Barry's cultural identity formed largely around growing up in a Jewish family in Queens Why Barry always felt like he had to tone himself down or tune himself out as he grew up and learned the art of conversation How Barry's intensity felt out of control in early adulthood because of social pressures How Barry uses his fire for good through teaching and his work, trying to fix for others what he wishes would have been fixed for him How mindfulness, meditation, self-centering, and 2E awareness have helped Barry harness the power of his intensity How creating systems and structures has helped with executive functioning for Barry–and how he uses it to help students How Barry helps others use their own fire through connecting and learning from each other   Resources: Connect with Barry:  GHF Learners and Mr. Gelston's One Room Schoolhouse
