Abstract
Abstract Parents of gifted and talented children may have different lived experiences than parents of non-gifted children, and these distinct experiences may cause worry, influence decisions, and increase tension and anxiety. In addition to taking into account the internal and external elements impacting views and self-efficacy, the aim of this research was to collect data in order to demonstrate the distinctive experiences and perceptions of parents now parenting talented children. The researcher interviewed ten (10) volunteer moms of Marcelo H. del Pilar Elementary School in Towak, Matanao, Davao del Sur, using a qualitative study design technique. The parents were open to discussing their views and opinions about their own experiences. The following themes relate to the experiences of parents: parents show (and need) a sharp sense of humor; parentsintensity may cause stress; parents desire for a happy connection with their kids; and parents feel alone and alienated. Three characteristics of a brilliant kid are covered in this study: strong academic prowess, extraordinary talent, and excellent leadership abilities. Studentsremarks are included into the conversation. The parents offered the following advice: approach it as a process of socialization, knowledge, discernment, and adventure. It is still unclear how to tackle issues that result from the exceptional ethical views and ideals of gifted and talented children if they are disregarded or managed improperly for parents, teachers, and other caregivers. If we accept the idea that education plays a significant role in the process of forming social values, then we can draw the conclusion that the primary responsibility of educators and teachers is to help young people become good and moral members of society by preparing them for community life as well as for the labor market. A quality education must figure out how to strike the correct balance between aptitude, values, and knowledge.Keywords: Parental perspectives, gifted children, experiences, characteristics, suggestions
