The conversation around twice exceptionality has advanced a lot in the past few years but there still exists substantial resistance and misunderstanding about what it means to be 2e. As my guest today, Julie Skolnick, writes about in her new book Gifted and Distractible, it's a widely held misconception that intellectual ability and social and emotional success go hand in hand. Which is why kids who are gifted and have simultaneous learning differences like ADHD, Autism, or dyslexia—are often not fully seen and supported by parents, teachers, and themselves. In a world where these complex learners are often labeled lazy, scattered, attention-seeking, and a problem that can't be solved, I am totally behind Julie's mission to passionately guide parents of gifted and distractible children to bring out the best and raise self-confidence in their 2e kids. And in today's conversation, she shares some of her best insights and ideas about how we can reimagine the world through our child's unique perspective—so we can help them thrive. Her book, Gifted and Distractible: Understanding, Supporting, and Advocating for Your Twice Exceptional Child, literally comes out the day this episode is released! If you're raising a twice exceptional kid, I highly encourage you to grab a copy after listening to our conversation… Julie really did share all of her experience and insights and hard-won wisdom inside for us to benefit from.

Memorable Quote “How many people out there think that they're the frontal lobe for their kids? You're the one who sets up all the stuff. The checklist, the double checks, the making sure the do this, do that. That's not agency. That's taking agency actually away. The opposite of that is agency where the child actually is doing the stuff for themselves, that they're making the decisions for themselves. And sometimes that's super scary for parents of gifted and 2E kids... “ – Julie Skolnick Resources com Let's Talk 2e! virtual conferences WithUnderstandingComesCalm.com Facebook: WithUnderstandingComesCalm Let's Talk 2e – Parents Let's Talk 2e – Teachers' Lounge Instagram: @LetsTalk2e Twitter: @JulieSkolnick LinkedIn: Julie Rosenbaum Skolnick YouTube: Let's Talk 2e BIO Julie Skolnick, M.A., J.D., Founder of With Understanding Comes Calm, LLC, passionately guides parents of gifted and distractible children, mentors 2e adults, trains educators and advises professionals on how to bring out the best and raise self-confidence in their 2e students and clients.

Tracy talks about giftedness and ADHD in this podcast.  Learn what the term 2E or Twice Exceptional refers to and that just because you’re gifted in one or more areas (for example mathematically or artistically) doesn’t mean that you might not also be challenged in other areas (you may learn differently or have an emotional or social delay). And did you know that you can be gifted and have ADHD? Do you know that here is no one definition of giftedness. In fact, all states have a different definition. Tracy shares Julie Skolnick's three layer cake definition of giftedness: You’ll learn about asynchronous development You’ll learn about perfectionism and how harmful it can be You’ll learn about the five areas where children can exhibit intense behaviors known as Kazimierz Dabrowski's overexcitabilities or supersensitivities. Tracy outlines the overexcitabilities and shares that she never thought her son was gifted but is now wondering because he exhibits many traits in all five of these areas. Tracy also assumed that you can’t be gifted if you struggle in school. Then she discovered AEGUS, The Association for the Education of Gifted Underachieving Students Find out what else gifted people need to succeed and how giftedness and ADHD can look identical. Tracy talks about her concern that perhaps we’re medicating bright children so that they can fit into the school environment when really these kids may just be unchallenged. She worries that it’s the smart capable kids that fall through the cracks in our educational system because when they don’t perform, teacher and parents automatically think it’s because they’re lazy. Have you ever wondered what does it even mean to be smart. Learn about Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences Could it be that ADHD is connected to specific intelligences? Tracy then talks about what questions experts ask if they are working with a bright child who isn’t applying themself and what she’s planning to bring into her son’s school to aid in his learning here.

Here is more information, in her own words from the interview and her website--  Understanding With understanding comes calm. Through the lenses of giftedness and distractibility, I will help you understand your child’s perplexing behaviors, complicated feelings and challenging attitudes and the responses of others toward them... When we understand why our children feel what they feel we can respond to their behavior in a calm and productive way.  Strategies Once we understand why your child reacts, behaves and feels the way he does, we can calmly create strategies to redirect or diffuse his behavior and help bring out the best in him so he may successfully reach his potential. We will fill your toolbox with ways to avoid negative reactions, encourage responsibility, and increase your child’s self-awareness and self esteem.  Implement/Advocate How will these strategies actually happen at home, in the classroom and out in the world? The success of implementation is planning ahead. Along with an implementation plan, we advise parents on how to advocate with necessary professionals: teachers, administrators, coaches and others so parents create a mutually supportive team without creating a defensive atmosphere. The goal is to form a partnership where parents and professionals gain mutual benefits from sharing information, techniques, and have a respectful back and forth about the best way to help your child thrive.  Julie serves as Secretary on the Maryland Superintendent’s Gifted and Talented Advisory Council and is on the Advisory Council for “The G Word” movie. Julie is the SENG (Supporting the Emotional Needs of the Gifted) Maryland liaison, a SENG Model Parent Group (SMPG) trained facilitator and on the Simultaneous Supports committee for the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC).
