Abstract

There is a paucity of research on the day-to-day experiences of raising gifted children from the perspective of parents. This qualitative study aimed to delve deeply into the phenomenon by interviewing parents of elementary-age gifted children. We conducted 12 interviews with parents whose children attended gifted schools. The interview transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key themes related to the experience of parenting gifted children. Themes identified included the parents’ description of a “child-driven” approach to parenting, experiencing social isolation due to a lack of understanding, and physical and emotional feelings of exhaustion. The findings are particularly important for parents of gifted children, and other professionals who would benefit from a better understanding of the day-to-day experience of raising gifted children.

资优儿童的养育经验:对小学生家长访谈的主题分析
从父母的角度来看,关于培养天才儿童的日常经历的研究很少。本质性研究旨在透过访谈小学资优儿童的家长,深入探讨这一现象。我们对孩子就读资优学校的家长进行了12次采访。对访谈记录进行主题分析,以确定与养育资优儿童经验相关的关键主题。确定的主题包括父母对“孩子驱动”的养育方式的描述,由于缺乏理解而经历社会孤立,以及身心疲惫的感觉。这些发现对天才儿童的父母和其他专业人士来说尤其重要,他们将从更好地了解抚养天才儿童的日常经历中受益。
