  • The physical, social, and emotional characteristics of any child or adult who is different from the majority of their peers is likely to result in misunderstanding or bullying. Bullying can occur in face-to-face situations, behind the backs of targeted individuals, or in more recent times, through what has been termed cyberbullying. Gifted students often stand out because of their academic superiority or their moderate to extreme sensitivity to issues, ideas, or situations. These young people often have deeper concerns about issues ranging from world problems such as world peace, climate devastation, and child labor to local situations such as unfairness on the part of a teacher or parent, unreasonable inflations of commonly purchased products, or even the act of bullying itself on the parts of classmates or others. Expressions of these sensitivities are often ridiculed by others in the form of name-calling, exclusion from social situations, lost friendships, or outright hostility on the parts of their peers. Very little empirical research has been conducted on the topic of gifted student bullying, but the personality characteristics of both the person being bullied and the perpetrator(s) of the bullying is a topic of much needed research. Gifted students often have highly focused interests, challenges, and concerns, and a values structure that may make them feel different from their peers; and any type of “difference” may result in bullying.

  • Raising twice-exceptional kids is definitely next-level parenting, and there are no tutorials or easy levels to start. Just because a child is gifted doesn't mean they don't have other types of neurodivergenic, like ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and more. Conversely, even children with one of these diagnoses can be cognitively gifted. This book provides the reader with a road map to understand the complex make-up of their "gifted-plus", or twice-exceptional, child or teen. It helps the readers to understand their child's diagnosis, meet their social-emotional needs, build self-regulation skills and goal setting, and teach self-advocacy. It also shows them effective ways to collaborate with teachers and school staff, and it offers advice on finding strengths based strategies that support development at home. For too long, these kids have fallen through the cracks. The book provides key information on how to best support neurodivergent children by leveraging their strengths while supporting their struggles. It is sorted into four major sections. Part I of the book is all about understanding neurodiversity, giftedness, and twice-exceptionality. Part II of the book includes a parents' toolkit of strategies for the reader to consider as they support their twice-exceptional child. The topics in the parent toolkit section helps the readers to implement the strategies included in Part III. Finally, part IV wraps up with information about how to understand school options for their twice-exceptional child. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: chapter)
