Raising Lifelong Learners

RLL #217: Find a Place of Belonging for Your Neurodiverse Kids


Listen Later

Our neurodivergent kids may require extra help finding a peer group where they feel comfortable being themselves and sharing their thoughts and interests.  It’s essential for us to be in tune with our children so that we can find places for them to connect with others.  That may be connecting them with people of all ages who share hobbies, sports, or academic interests. 

 

Today Colleen will discusses ways you can help your gifted, 2e, and neurodivergent kids find belonging in ways that validate who they are. It may not look the same as you thought, but meaningful relationships are possible.

Our sponsors for today’s episode are CTC Math and Reading Eggs
