Abstract
In workshop situations, parents of gifted children sought assistance in three major areas. First, they desired to understand their children's development in terms of giftedness, intellectual ability, social-emotional factors and motivation. Second, they were anxious about school-related needs: allowing gifted children to proceed at their own pace and avoid the boredom of unchallenging work, teachers who felt threatened by outstanding children, and a parental desire to understand the school system and its organisation. Third, they searched for enrichment activities and resource materials over a wide range of interests. Overall they wanted reassurance that their youngsters, although gifted, were normal children.
