Abstract
Parenting gifted children has many challenges as well as benefits, so the aim
of this research was to test differences in parental burnout, perceived stress,
life satisfaction and psychological flourishing of mothers of gifted and non-gifted
children. The sample included 66 mothers of gifted and 63 mothers of
non-gifted children. The following instruments were used: Parental Burnout
Assessment, Perceived Stress Scale, Life Satisfaction Scale and Flourishing
Scale. It was expected that mothers of gifted and non-gifted children would
not differ in the level of parental burnout but mothers of gifted children would
exibit a higher level of both percieved stress and well-being. Differences in
the examined variables between mothers of gifted and non-gifted children
were tested with a t-test. The results showed that mothers of gifted children
are more educated, but do not differ significantly from mothers of non-gifted
children in any of the examined variables.
