“…The reason could be that children might be aware of their parents' socioeconomic status and not want to pressure their parents financially with their demands. Ballam (2009) describes her personal experience and states that "mindful of the costs involved, I ensured that my interest in these endeavors remained concealed" (p. 18) which is consistent with the finding of this study. Furthermore, some of the parents stated that they did their best for their gifted children.…”

“…Bunun sebebi olarak özel yetenekli çocukların ebeveynlerinin sosyoekonomik durumlarının farkında olması ve onlara kendi taleplerini belirterek daha fazla baskı yapmak istememeleri gösterilebilir. Ballam (2009) kendi kişisel deneyimlerinden yola çıkarak yaptığı bilimsel çalışmasında, masrafları düşünerek ilgi alanlarını gizli tutmayı tercih ettiğini beyan etmiştir. Bu da bulguların alanyazın ile uyumlu olduğunu göstermektedir.…”

“…Based on the review of the literature, an interview form was developed to collect the data (Arthaud, 2008;Ballam, 2009;Colangelo & Dettman, 1983;Eriş et al, 2009;Hertzog & Bennett, 2004;Keirouz, 1990;Levent, 2011;Morawska & Sanders, 2009; Ulusoy, 2013) a list of questions was formed that asked parents' demographic information, opinions regarding the education of the gifted, and personal experiences of gifted education involving their socio-economic status.

“…Bu formun geliştirilmesi esnasında sırasıyla belirli basamaklar takip edilmiştir. Öncelikle alanyazın taranmış ve ebeveynlerin demografik bilgilerini, özel yeteneklilerin eğitimine ilişkin görüşlerini ve özel yeteneklilerin eğitimi için sosyo-ekonomik durumlarını içeren kişisel deneyimlerine yönelik soruların bir listesi oluşturulmuştur (Arthaud, 2008;Ballam, 2009;Colengelo & Detman, 1983;Eris vd., 2009;Hertzog & Bennett, 2004;Keirouz, 1990;Levent, 2011;Morawska & Sanders, 2009;Ulusoy, 2013). Daha sonra bu form, geçerliğin sağlanması amacıyla içlerinde 2 özel eğitim uzmanı, 2 eğitim yönetimi uzmanı ve bir ölçme ve değerlendirme uzmanı olmak üzere toplam 5 uzmana görüşleri alınmak üzere yönlendirilmiştir.…”

Introduction:The purpose of this research was to investigate the cost parents paid for their gifted and non-gifted children, the type of expenses they made for their children's education and their opinions regarding the financial demands of their gifted children. Method:In this qualitative study with a phenomenological approach, the data were collected from 20 parents of gifted and non-gifted students using structured interview forms. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. Findings:The findings indicated that the parents spent the most on school supplies for both gifted and non-gifted children for in-school environment. However, for out-of school expenditures parents spent the most on books, movies, and intelligence games for their gifted children while they spent the most on field trips and movies for their non-gifted children.Discussion: Parents could not fully support the development of their children (especially gifted ones) due to their financial conditions. Also, parents reported that opportunities in regular schools were not enough to help their children realize and fulfill their own potential. It was concluded that gifted children needed environments enriched with more materials, sources, mentors, and facilities to reveal their true potential.
