When Big Feelings Overflow: Supporting Our 2e Kids Through Emotional Storms
When Big Feelings Overflow: Supporting Our 2e Kids
The thrown remote, the homework battle, the meltdown aimed at the person they love most—you. Sound familiar?
Parent coach Tosha Schore reminds us: your child isn’t giving you a hard time—they’re having a hard time. What looks like defiance is often fear, overwhelm, or sensory overload. Shifting from “won’t” to “can’t” opens the door to empathy, connection, and calmer moments.
Simple strategies—talk less during meltdowns, set clear limits with Listen-Limit-Listen, and spend daily undistracted time together—can help your child safely navigate big feelings. Remember: connection matters more than compliance, and showing up consistently helps your 2e child feel understood, loved, and safe.
2e Back-to-School Survival Guide: Executive Function Tips That Actually Work from Seth Perler
Back-to-school season often highlights the paradox of raising twice-exceptional kids: the same child who can dive deep into complex ideas may struggle with routines, organization, or finishing homework. These challenges aren’t signs of failure—they’re part of how differently developing brains work.
In a recent conversation with Young Scholars Academy, executive function coach Seth Perler shared strategies built on four pillars: you are the perfect parent for your child, relationship comes first, inner work matters, and emotional regulation shapes everything. When families focus here, small shifts can lead to lasting growth—helping kids not just manage school, but build the skills for a thriving life.
