1Department of Psychology, University of Crete, 74100 Rethymno, Greece.
Abstract:
Parenting gifted and talented (G/T) children is a journey with unique experiences that can differ from the lived experiences of parents raising non-gifted and talented children. These unique experiences typically raise concerns, influence decisions, and exacerbate stress and anxiety regarding the children's future development and education. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the current literature in order to highlight the topic of parenting G/T children with a focus on their exceptional social-emotional needs. Studies support the conclusion that significant determinants of G/T children's personal growth are authoritative parenting, which provides autonomy and self-motivation, and parents' behaviors and attitudes toward the exceptional needs of G/T children. Conversely, authoritarian parenting negatively impacts children's well-being and mental health, impeding the positive development of the child's potential. Enhancing the caregiving capacity of family members-by reducing the stress associated with their parenting and caregiving roles-can have a powerful impact on the developmental trajectory of gifted children.
