Is My Child Gifted or Struggling Understanding Twice Exceptionality 2e Kids

Does your child seem gifted one moment, but completely fall apart the next?
Maybe they blow you away with big ideas — but struggle to finish a worksheet. Maybe they’re witty, insightful, and intense — but also getting detentions, suspensions, or refusing school altogether.

This isn’t defiance. It might be something called twice exceptionality — or 2e for short.

In this video, Brendan from The Guided Path (Behaviour Support Specialist, Guidance Officer, and dad) breaks down what it means to be 2e, why these kids are often misunderstood, and how parents can advocate for them at school.

You’ll learn:
✅ What “twice exceptional” (2e) really means
✅ Why 2e kids often get mistaken for lazy, unmotivated, or defiant
✅ The difference between giftedness and high achievement
✅ How to support 2e students without burning them out
✅ Practical steps for parents to get schools on board — including assessments and personalised plans

2e kids are some of the most brilliant, complex, and misunderstood learners in our schools. With the right support, they can thrive.
