Abstract	Twice-exceptional (2E) students are those who demonstrate a gift or talent in one or more areas and have a disability in another area. One identifying characteristic of 2E children is asynchronous development, or the display of unusual talent or maturity in one or more areas alongside a struggle to develop in other areas. Asynchronous development may exhibit internally or externally. Internally, asynchronous development indicates different rates of physical, intellectual, emotional, and social skills development. In contrast, external traits may include a lack of inclusion with both same-aged peers and age-related expectations of society. These external traits illustrate the importance of special efforts to facilitate healthy social and emotional development in 2E children. The social and emotional issues that 2E children demonstrate can be as debilitating as their other challenges. Parents see a frustrated, angry, and depressed child; however, parents of a 2E child may also experience similar emotional and psychological issues. This article provides some strategies that can help parents play a vital role in helping their 2E child build resiliency--or the ability to "bounce back"--in the face of difficulties by intervening and advocating on several levels.
