Gifted and twice‑exceptional students may appear calm or capable while quietly battling stress, perfectionism, or sensory overload. When parents and teachers learn to “see beneath the surface,” they can respond with understanding instead of frustration. This session empowers adults to spot emotional warning signs early and to use co‑regulation, strengths‑based language, and realistic expectations to help 2e kids manage big emotions and rediscover joy in learning.
