Parenting the young gifted child:Supportive behaviors

Abstract

Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to determine the role that parents of precocious children play in the lives of their child and to arrive at a description of parenting behaviors in five categories considered important in child development. Analysis revealed that the parents in the study were dedicated parents who practiced an authoritative style of parenting. Data obtained on a standardized instrument showed that the parents fostered creativity, showed low levels of frustration, exerted an appropriate amount of flexible control, viewed play as a highly valuable activity, showed confidence in their ability as teachers, and acted as facilitators of the teaching/learning process.
