Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 086a: Dr. Michael Postma of SENG on the Plight of Gifted and 2e Kids · 1 Jul 2022 podcast

I talk I talked about

sensory prints and how they build on the brain.

It has been found that the sensory prints uh the intake of information through senses

is a larger band in gifted and especially twice exceptional kids than it is in regular students, but they don't have the mechanism to cope with it.

So they're they're taking in information at a vast rate and and that that sensory piece is just it stays there.

these memories implant themselves and they implant themselves, you know, in a in a dense fashion.

But again, without the coping mechanism to support it, they can really be an effect.

And I'm not saying you ignore the news, you know, but the type of exposure you can limit exposure and you can talk about the news uh with family members, especially younger children, you know, they you know, at certain ages they don't need to know.

But as they get older and develop they will know.

Um so these are things you talk through and you talk about probability.

You talk about

You know, the reality of, you know, for instance this latest incident in Vegas, um, it's very difficult to cope with, um, as a highly intense person, especially a child and

The I think the defense there is, you know, the probability of that actually happening is pretty low.

It did happen.

There may be another time it will happen again, but you know, the probability of you being involved in that sort of thing is very low.

Now the other piece to it is they still have to understand and be able to cope with how the world operates.

There's a high sense of justice, there's a high sense of empathy with gifted children.

And that is another challenge in terms of helping them to cope with a world that sometimes is just not very fair.

Yeah, we have facilitators across the country and even internationally.

And what we generally like if if a parent is interested, they f should first contact their local um school and maybe see if they or their local gifted coordinator, see if there's anything available.
