Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 319: Dr. Gail Post on the Gifted Parenting Journey and Support for Families of Gifted Children · 21 Feb 2023 podcast

in the composite sense there just isn't a lot research out there about what path works best

Well, fortunately, there's a lot more out there about, certainly about under-identification in minority students, in impoverished families, in rural settings as well.

I mean, it's pretty widespread that these kids don't quote unquote look gifted a lot of times to the school, so they are overlooked.

And there's a lot about that.

But as parents, again, they want to fit in in their community and

there may be less support within their community and outside of their community.

There still are some prejudices out there about children of color who are not seen as gifted or

who may be expressing it in slightly different ways.

And parents are put in this difficult position of having to advocate and go up against folks who don't believe them, which is such a devaluing experience.

But fortunately, again, I think there's a big upswing in terms of awareness about this.

Certainly, I know NAGC, National Association for Gifted Children really works on this, promote different ways of identifying and supporting these children.

If we're not aware of what our motivations are or where we get our values from, you can feel like you're floundering all over the place.

And gifted kids, all kids really bring challenges to the table.

And even if we're really angry and upset and frustrated and money on screen, just to try to stay grounded in our beliefs and our values of what is important.

And we're going to make mistakes.

That's okay.

But to be really clear about that.

Without some clarity, we're going to be influenced by social media, by what our neighbor says about children, by our childhood experiences, which may not always have been the best.

So it's really hard to kind of figure out what we need to do.

And the more we're aware of what our feelings are, we're separating out our personal needs.
