Abstract

As education and rehabilitation researchers but laymen as parents of a gifted child, the authors put forward the “MOTHER” approach, a simplified version of Silverman's model (1993), and suggest strategies that may be used by parents of gifted children to guide their talented and gifted children. The intervention strategies include mentorship, opportunities, integrity, high state of moral development, emotional intelligence development, and responsibility. Illustrations of these strategies were made with reference to their own 7 year old son. Integration of the model with Chinese philosophy is also discussed.
