There are many wonderful things about raising a gifted and twice exceptional children and many difficult (if not impossible) things. This session will focus on strategies in communication, emotional regulation, executive functioning support, and psychoeducation. All family members will be empowered to communicate more effectively and from a place of knowledge, which should lead to enhanced impact and empathy. Additionally, this session will offer several role-play activities where parents can see their part in the challenges that naturally arise when parenting highly gifted kids.
