Description
Dr. Dan welcomes back colleague and friend Julie Skolnick, M.A., J.D., founder of With Understanding Comes Calm LLC, to Parent Footprint. Dr. Dan interviews Julie about her new book Gifted and Distractible: Understanding, Supporting, and Advocating for Your Twice Exceptional Child – a practical, research-based guide that demystifies giftedness and learning differences in order to help “twice exceptional” children thrive. On this new episode, Dr. Dan and Julie talk about the widely held misconception that intellectual ability and social and emotional success go hand in hand. They explain and explore how “twice exceptional” kids—those who are gifted and have simultaneous learning differences like ADHD, high-functioning autism, or dyslexia—are often misunderstood by parents, teachers, and themselves. Listeners will hear about the unique challenges these remarkable kids face, and learn about strength-based, hands-on strategies for understanding, supporting, and advocating for twice exceptional children. Today’s interview and Julie’s paradigm-shifting book will help families everywhere.Julie Skolnick, M.A., J.D. has passionately guided thousands of parents of gifted and distractible children around the world, mentors twice exceptional adults, and advises educators and professionals on how to bring out the best and raise self-confidence in their twice-exceptional students and clients. Julie serves as secretary to the Maryland superintendent’s State Advisory Council for Gifted and Talented Students, and produces virtual conferences and other engagement opportunities for the twice exceptional community.Email your parenting questions to Dr. Dan podcast@drdanpeters.com (we might answer on a future episode).Follow us @parentfootprintpodcast (Instagram, Facebook) and @drdanpeters (Twitter).Listen, follow, and leave us a review on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Wondery, or wherever you like to listen!Don’t forget, you can hear every episode one week early and ad-free by subscribing to Wondery+ in the @WonderyMedia App.For more information:www.exactlyrightmedia.com www.drdanpeters.comFor podcast merch:www.exactlyrightmedia.com/parent-footprint-shopSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
