Behind the Mask:
Understanding anxiety, perfectionism and masking in 2E kids

Why is your bright, capable child so hard on themselves-or so exhausted after school? Why do they seem fine on the outside but melt down at home? Many twice-exceptional (2E) kids feel enormous pressure to "pass" as neurotypical, to meet their potential, and to hide the parts of themselves that feel different. The result? Anxiety, perfectionism and burnout.

What's included?

  • 1.5 hour video recording
  • course slides

Objectives

Participants will walk away with:
  • A deeper understanding of how anxiety and masking show up in 2E learners
  • Tools to help kids reduce perfectionistic thinking and self-criticism 
  • Strategies to create safer, more authentic spaces for your child-at home and school
