TECA - Twice Exceptional Children's Advocacy presents:

Enabling or Disabling? Are We Teaching Life Skills to Our 2e Kids?

(RSVP by Tuesday, Oct. 1)

Sharing space with a 2e kid can be messy. How do we know when they are ready to learn to clean up after themselves, participate in household tasks and chores, understand financial responsibility and take care of their personal needs such as good hygiene, healthy eating, and a good sleep routine? And how does this tie into family values? The discussion will include: understanding the difference between accepting their actual limitations versus enabling them; reward versus earning; if and when to give them an allowance; and, maintaining realistic expectations. Keeping a simultaneous view of the present and the future will help us give our kids the tools to be as independent as possible when they leave home.

Led by TECA President Melissa Sornik, LCSW and co-facilitated by TECA Executive Director Maratea Cantarella, this topic-driven group offers family members the chance to learn and share strategies for parenting our uniquely gifted 2e kids. This group is open to parents and guardians of all twice exceptional children and teens.
