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
I think Dr. Tracy Cross over at William & Mary is doing a lot of work on suicide and depression with gifted individuals.
And, you know, the numbers aren't staggering, but the vulnerability is really out there.
And there's so many struggles.
We hear so many stories of, you know, folks just trying to cope with life.
And in an age where, you know, these anxieties are increasing in a measure, if you turn on the television,
We have a lot of folks that we tell them, just turn off the television, don't watch the news.
I mean, you almost can't anymore because it can affect them so deeply and so intensely.
And if they don't have the coping mechanisms, they're bound to do something that is not very positive.
Yeah, very much more intensely.
And it does have effect, it does have damage.
I talked about sensory prints and how they build in the brain.
It has been found that the sensory prints, the intake of information through senses is a larger
banned and gifted in especially twice exceptional kids than it is in regular students, but they don't have the mechanism to cope with it.
So they're taking in information at a vast rate, and that sensory piece is just, it stays there.
These memories implant themselves, and they implant themselves, you know, in a dense fashion.
But again, without the coping mechanism to support it, they can really be in effect.
And I'm not saying you ignore the news.
But the type of exposure, you can limit exposure and you can talk about the news with family members, especially younger children.
At certain ages, they don't need to know.
But as they get older and develop, they will know.
