Parents of gifted children identify a need for tailored parenting support, and gifted children have unique requirements and vulnerabilities. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of a tailored behavioural parenting intervention, for enhancing the parenting skills of parents of gifted children and to assess the effect of these changes on the behavioural and emotional adjustment of their gifted child. A randomised controlled trial of tailored Group Triple P - Positive Parenting Program was conducted with 75 parents of children identified as gifted. Results indicated significant intervention effects for the number and frequency of parent reported child behaviour problems, as well as hyperactivity in the intervention group, relative to a waitlist control. Parents also reported significant improvements in their own parenting style, including less permissiveness, harshness, and verbosity when disciplining their child. No intervention effects were evident for teacher reports, except for a trend in relation to hyperactivity. This study demonstrated that a tailored behavioural parenting intervention is effective and acceptable for parents of gifted children, and thus has clinical implications for the delivery of parenting interventions for this population.
天赋异禀儿童的家长们认识到他们需要有针对性的育儿支持，而天赋异禀的儿童也有其独特的需求和脆弱性。本研究旨在评估一种针对性的行为养育干预措施对提高天赋异禀儿童家长养育技能的效果，并评估这些变化对其天赋异禀儿童行为和情绪调整的影响。对 75 名被认定为天赋异禀的儿童的家长进行了有针对性的团体 Triple P - 积极养育计划的随机对照试验。结果表明，与候补对照组相比，干预组在家长报告的儿童行为问题的数量和频率，以及多动方面，干预效果显著。父母在自己的养育方式上也报告了显著的改善，包括在管教孩子时减少宽容、严厉和唠叨。教师报告没有干预效果，除了多动方面有一个趋势。这项研究表明，针对天赋异禀儿童的行为养育干预措施是有效且可接受的，因此对为这一人群提供养育干预措施具有临床意义。
