碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 特殊教育學系 === 106 === This study is based on a narrative inquiry, which tells growing-up stories of three highly gifted students including their family atmosphere, significant events, interaction of family members and concepts of parenting highly gifted children. In the process, I reviewed past researches and articles about family experience and family psychology to build up a storyline of this study. Following the qualitative practice to pick up participants individually till information satisfied. I, eventually, choose three highly gifted students and their mother to be my participants. By telling stories form their birth to every growing phase, their mother also shared experience on parenting a gifted child. Findings revealed their growing-up environment which filled with intimacy, concern and respect. They also experienced several similar events includes their first highly intellectual performance, how to be an identified gifted student and how they suffered from their perfectionism, sense of responsibility and excellent ability. Furthermore, I described their family activities and how to improve relationship between child and parents. In lack of the highly gifted research, this study tried to draw the outline of their family and construct their family experience. In the end, I provided suggestions for parents of highly gifted and the following researchers.
