Do You Know The Secret Sauce for Homeschooling 2(e) Student Success?

Posted On October 19, 2023

Thus far, we have introduced you to the world of twice-exceptional or 2e learners, guided you through the evaluation process as outlined on our Advocacy Page, offered encouragement and resources to help you ensure your family is in compliance with your state’s homeschool regulations, reminded you that no one is better equipped to educate your twice-exceptional student than you, and taught you how to think outside the box as a homeschool parent.

Today, it’s the parent’s turn to hit the books.

Secret Ingredient to 2(e) Student Success

Out of the many phrases I am known for repeating in our homeschool, this one is by far a favorite.

“Always learning, always growing.”

Kimberly Bennett, It’s Only Homeschooling

I love to learn.

I am genuinely curious.

I also enjoy a challenge.

While I may not enjoy every part of the problem-solving process, I am empowered by my ability to recognize a problem and take the initiative to seek answers to bring about resolution.

When I hit roadblocks, I seek an alternate route.

While I may ask for help at times, I do not sit idly by waiting for rescue.

I actively participate in crafting a solution.

And I want nothing less for my child.

Lifelong Learners

The best teachers are willing students, lifelong learners who are traveling companions on this education journey with their children.

Knowledge is power.

Educating myself about my child’s unique learning needs is the secret ingredient in my recipe for homeschool success.

I do not expect myself to know it all.

In fact, I know I never will.

Rather, what I cultivate is an ongoing openness to learning about my child’s diagnoses, my child’s personality and individual needs, and my own needs.

I speak more about my experience in the video below:

Sharing Your Knowledge

One of the many beautiful traits of the home school community (and by far one of my favorites), is our willingness to support one another. When we stumble across something that works, we tend to not keep it to ourselves.

Share what you have learned with others! Make a YouTube video, share in a social media support group, participate in a podcast, or tell your story at a conference. You never know who you might help.
