DESCRIPTION:Emotion regulation is often a challenge for twice exceptional children. Grappling with intensities (overexcitabilities), a strong sense of justice, frequently challenged with output and frustrated by a lack of social nuance, our 2e children can act out in ways that seem out of sync for what is frustrating them at a particular moment. It is imperative to understand what lies behind behavior and to consider that seemingly severe responses may be triggered by environments where they feel repeatedly misunderstood.
Before we can help our 2e children “manage” their emotions, we must work with them on the process of cognitive reappraisal and loving themselves. In order to help them “control” their emotions, we must first hold their emotions with them, let go of our impulse to solve problems or discipline behavior. Feeling understood and having feelings honored will allow our 2e children to accept help in recognizing cognitive distortions, crafting appropriate ways of expressing feelings, and taking risks in trusting peers and adults around them. Once we gain their trust, we can set up expectations and allow natural consequences to occur.
