Siblings, Aspie Comedy, Gifted Pride, and 2e in the Marianas

THE GIFTED SIDE. Let’s talk about the gifted side of 2e, and what it means when that 2e kiddo you raise or teach really shows his or her strengths and does a great job. Psychologist Gail Collins, in her most recent blog posting, addresses the question, “Is it all right to feel proud of your gifted child?” It’s a nuanced column, but the net-out is, “we are entitled to feel pride when our child succeeds, and share our joy with others who understand.” Find the blog.

JEN THE BLOGGER, a mom who has been writing about life in a 2e family for a long time, usually just lays it all out there when she writes, and her latest post is no exception. It’s about deciding to see a therapist to help her manage her (usually chaotic) life. The post is about her inner voice, Miserable Maude, and what to do about that voice. Find the blog.
