Educating Parents of Gifted Children: Designing Effective Workshops for Changing Parent Perceptions
Weber, Christine L.; Stanley, Laurel
Gifted Child Today, v35 n2 p128-136 Apr 2012
The focus of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a series of free workshops for parents of gifted children. The parent education workshops provided research-based information as recognized by experts in the field of counseling gifted children. Content areas include the characteristics of gifted children, identification, appropriate education, and parenting practices. Differences between the means of the pretest and posttest content questions indicated that the workshops were effective in educating parents. The findings support that parent workshops offer an option for providing quality information that parents need in raising their gifted children. (Contains 1 table and 1 figure.)
