In this episode of the Exceptional Girls podcast, you're invited to listen in as I talk with Dr. Gail Post, a clinical psychologist, professor, and author of The Gifted Parenting Journey: A Guide to Self-discovery and Support for Families of Gifted Children.
Based on her many years of experience working with gifted and twice exceptional women and girls, Gail shares:
- Some of the not-so-obvious signs that your daughter may be struggling
- Why the middle school years are often challenging for exceptional girls
- Eye-opening statistics that explain why being a neurodivergent girl can be especially challenging
- Advice for supporting your daughter through the transition to middle school and beyond
If you're the parent of a tween or middle-school aged exceptional girl, this episode is a must-listen.
