In the present study we provide insights regarding the perceptions of gifted students and their parents about the communication skills of these gifted children. We collected data through in-depth individual interviews, focus group interviews, field-notes, and other documentation with 10 gifted students and 10 of their parents. The findings indicated several interesting commonalities among these gifted children related to communication including: (1) they defined communication as a needed connection that is established between two or more people through listening and telling, (2) they were better able to share their thoughts and feelings with their families than with their teachers and friends, and (3) they could demand things from their mothers more easily than from other individuals. The results of the present study also indicate that these students enjoyed communicating in social environments and were especially bored by a lack of social stimulation or being alone at home.
