Gifted child in the family context - challenges

Djecu koja nas iznenađuju svojim izuzetnim postignućima i sposobnostima opisujemo kao darovitu djecu. Mnoge su definicije i pogledi na darovitost, međutim ono što je zajedničko svima jest da su ta djeca iznadprosječna djeca, imaju mnoge karakteristične osobine te su im za razvoj njihovih sposobnosti potrebni dodatni poticaji. Od iznimne važnosti je prepoznati tu darovitost te djetetu omogućiti sve što mu je potrebno za usavršavanje svojih potencijala. Obitelj je neizostavna kada je u pitanju razvijanje sposobnosti, stoga je na njoj velika odgovornost. Optimalna obiteljska sredina u kojoj se darovito dijete može razvijati jest ona koja je skrbna i zahtjevna. To se odnosi na roditelje koji prihvaćaju i razumiju dijete, ali isto tako imaju i kontrolu nad njim. Darovito dijete velik je izazov, te se roditelji moraju moći nositi s tim. Odgojni problemi koji se često javljaju su discipliniranje djeteta, odnosno stjecanje samodiscipline kod djeteta te razmjena osjećaja. U istraživačkom dijelu, prikazani su izazovi s kojima se suočavaju dva roditelja djece predškolske dobi s utvrđenom darovitošću. Ispitanici potvrđuju važnost podrške šire obiteljske i lokalne zajednice, što se posebno odnosi i na ulogu dječjeg vrtića i odgojitelja.Children that surprise us with their extraordinary achievements and abilities we describe as talented children. There are a lot of definitions and views on talents, however the one thing that is common to all of them is that those children are above average, they have characteristic personalities and they need extra support. It is very important to recognize childs talents and to enable everything that they need to develop them to potential. Family is unavoidable when it comes to developing capability, so the big responsibility is on the family. Optimal family atmosphere in which a talented child can develop is one that is careful and demanding. By that we mean on the parents that accept and understand their child, but at the same time, they have control above them. Talented child is a big challenge so the parents must know how to handle them. Problems with raising the child often show when it comes to discipline of the child, or better said, self-discipline that the child must reach and with exchanging emotions. In my research part, some challenges are presented where two parents deal with preschool children with established talent. Examinees confirm the importance of support of the whole family and local community, which also especially relates to the role of the kindergarten and the kindergarten teacher
