The Role of the Family in Talented Child Development - an Andragogy Aspect

Summary/Abstract: It is not easy to find the proper definition of talent for there is not one (right) answer to the question: ''What talent really means?'' There are a lot of various answers including many different conditions and criteria (time when talent has occured, behavioural characteristics or anticipation of the future behaviour, type of behaviour and so on). It is considered that there are as many as 160 definitions of talent (Cvetković-Lay, 1995), that speaks enough about the complexity of that question/phenomenon. Definition, or to say understanding talent as a phenomenon is relevant for all other steps that should be taken later on: recognition, identification, education, etc. Talented child parents' or family's is crucial for all these phases. In distinction from some believes talented children could come from any family regardless educational level of parents, their social state, and (a) talented parents and so on. It is very important for parents to be supportive, and to offer stimulating and challenging setting to their child so she/he could develop its potentials, but also positive characteristics as a person, self-respect and real image of his/her personality.
