Program Description
Event Details
Join The Twice-Exceptional Network on the 3rd Thursday of each month for a supportive gathering where parents of twice-exceptional children can connect, share, and find community. Twice-exceptional (2e) children are those who are both intellectually gifted and face learning, developmental, or behavioral challenges – they experience the world with unique intensity and complexity.
In these monthly sessions, we create a safe and understanding space for parents navigating the beautiful but often uncertain path of raising 2e children. Whether you’re curious or suspect your child is 2e, or has just been identified as 2e, or you're years into your journey, you'll find resonance and validation in connecting with other parents who truly understand.
Our meetings are guided by the wisdom that emerges when parents share their stories, challenges, and triumphs in their own authentic ways. There's immense power in knowing you're not alone – in finding others who understand the daily balancing act of nurturing both your child's exceptional gifts and supporting their challenges.
This is a judgment-free, safe space where you can:
- Share your experiences and learn from other parents' journeys
- Find validation for the unique challenges of parenting a 2e child
- Build connections with parents who understand your reality
- Discover new perspectives and strategies through shared wisdom
- Take a monthly pause to reflect and recharge in supportive company
Hosted by The Twice-Exceptional Network, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and connecting parents of twice-exceptional children.
