Abstract: The influence of parents on children’s talent development is one of the most interesting and important topics in gifted education. This paper summarizes major viewpoints and beliefs in the Western and Chinese literature on parenting, especially parenting of gifted and talented children. Following the literature review, some problems related to parenting are discussed, and three parenting strategies concerning the relevant problems are considered. The ultimate purpose of this paper is to provide parents and educators with useful guidance that combines the essence of good parenting strategies from both Western and Chinese literature.
