"Gifted children need strong, responsible advocates, and parent groups can make a difference. It takes persistence of large

groups of parents to assure that provisions for gifted children are kept firmly in place. Parents of children who are gifted need opportunities to share parenting experiences with each other, and parent groups can provide a place where that can happen."
