Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 086: Dr. Michael Postma of SENG on the Plight of Gifted and 2e Kids · 5 Dec 2017 podcast

So how do you accommodate that in the classroom?

So this is why it really motivated me to start writing.

I've also been working with these kids for many, many years.

And just seeing the struggles that these kids and parents, you know, it really falls on the family as well.

That extra stress when they come home and just have these meltdowns because, you know, they tend to hold it in during the day and then it becomes an issue at home.

So partly for that and then partly for the teachers.

It is written with teachers in mind.

And it really is an introductory book.

It's not heavy details.

But it's written so that, you know, the layman, the teacher with not a lot of training can go in there and just take some hints and some strategies and get in the classroom and do a few things that might help.

But it is also written for parents.

The first half is really developmental.

And the second half is more education approach.

And even back in the day when I was still, you know, working in the field of gifted ed in a school system,

I had teachers that were gifted ed teachers that didn't quite understand the 2E child.

So that's even more motivation that even within the gifted community, we have misunderstandings and a need for more support.

Well, and I think part of it is, you know, we still run our schools in a bit of an old fashioned style.

It's still very agrarian in a sense where they were pushing them through, you know, period after period after period and, you know, certain content, content, content heavy.

I think education in itself needs to be revitalized and revamped.

We have tired teachers that are seeing so many kids per day that are getting very little time for planning.
