“…The overall favorable scores for this sample are similar to those reported for other parent populations including those with less education, lower incomes, more single care givers, and persons raising children with handicaps (Strom & McCalla, 1988;Strom et al, 1990;. These consistent findings suggest that there are a greater number of successful parents than the public has been led to believe and that they deserve to be more frequently recognized.…”

This study examined parent influence as perceived b y gifted junior high school students and their parents. Ninety-three adolescents reported on 171 parents; self-reports were provided b y 172 parents. Both generations were administered parallel versions of the Parent Strengths and Needs Inventory which identifies (a) aspects of parenthood that are satisfying, (b) ways in which parents successfully perform their role, (c) the scope of teaching expected of parents, (d) problems with the obligations of parenting, (e) child behaviors which are upsetting to parents, and ( f ) information parents need t o function more effectively. Multivariate analysis of variance was used to determine the effects of generation of respondent, gender of parent, and child school performance on paxent effectiveness* Analyses revealed significant main effects for all three independent variables. Interaction effects emerged for school performance and parent gender. Implications are considered for planning parent education programs.

“…Others describe this methodological approach as a limited data gathering experience leading to inherent study limitations (Hurd, Moore, & Rogers, 1995). Using the mothers as the only source of evaluation (self-impressions) can result in only a partial assessment of their skills in terms of both over-and under-evaluation (Strom, Griswold, Strom, Collinsworth, & Schmid, 1990;Strom & Strom, 1998). When possible, parent self-reports and other sources, such as adolescent children, experts, and so forth, might also be used as sources for data collection.…”

“…When possible, parent self-reports and other sources, such as adolescent children, experts, and so forth, might also be used as sources for data collection. For example, Strom et al (1990) surveyed both mothers and their pre-adolescent children to evaluate the mother's parenting ability. However, the intent of this study was to explore parenting ability and effectiveness in a general, non-clinical population of single, young adult, low-income, African American mothers.…”

“…Parent influence is critical in guiding child growth and encouraging the maintenance of culturally defined values (Strom & Johnson, 1986). Thus, the extent to which youngsters from ethnic and low income families have the opportunity at home to develop skills and behaviors congruent with accepted definitions of giftedness depends on parent expectations (Alwinn, 1988;Colangelo, 1988;Johnson, Workman, & Gage, 1987;Karnes, Shwedel, & Steinberg, 1984;Strom, Bernard, & Strom, 1989;Strom, Griswold, Strom & Collinsworth, 1990;Torrance & Goff, 1989;Van Tassel-Baska, 1989).…”

Gifted education programs typically underrepresent children from minority and low income backgrounds. Uncommon screening measures were used to identify an equity sample of 68 potentially gifted youngsters who would participate in a summer institute. The instruction offered these preschool and primary grade students was complimented by a learning component for their parents. A common and differentiated curriculum was developed for Anglo and Hispanic parents based on their expressed expectations regarding child development. Findings show that schools can serve communities better when opportunities for growth are provided to parents as well as their children.The underrepresentation of minority populations in gifted education has motivated a wide range of initiatives throughout the United States. These reforms usually support alternative "culture free" screening and identification procedures. One example is the increasing reliance on nominations from teachers who are guided by a checklist of behaviors commonly attributed to exceptional children. It is assumed that these broader methods of assessment will be more equitable to ethnic and low-income students. In order to supplement the judgment of educators, student nominations are also welcomed from sources outside the school. Parents are sometimes asked to rank order their child on a series of statements which describe indicators of giftedness.
