Abstract

Families play a critical role in fostering talent development, and need guidance and support with parenting practices. The purposes of this study were to describe a psychoeducational program for parents of gifted children and to investigate the participants’ perceptions of the program. Nine Brazilian families participated. The data was collected through three questionnaires to which participants were asked to respond at different moments of the program. The program was implemented over 12 fortnightly group meetings of 2 h 30 min each. Parents considered their participation in the program as (a) an opportunity for exchanging experiences; (b) gaining knowledge, including self-knowledge; (c) and developing a feeling of belonging and identity. The study revealed the importance of providing support and guidance groups for parents of gifted children. The findings also provide suggestions about program design and implementation, as well as information that might benefit professionals to help parents overcome challenges and develop successful strategies in raising their gifted child.
