Sažetak
ln analyzing the phenomenon of talent, the family of the talented
is very often at the very center of interest as well as the question
how much it can influence the development and expression of the
child's productive talent. Pertaining to this issue various beliefs
have been formed amongst non-experts that are considered correct,
as for example the one that talent is a completely hereditary
quality or that it is only socially determined, that talented children
are the offspring of wealthier and more educated parents, that
talented children are only first-borns or children from smaller
families, that the first years of life which have been missed in stimulating
the development of talent cannot be later compensated, that
for developing talent it is most important for the parents to spend
time with the child, that demanding and consistent parents are more
successful in encouraging their child's talent etc. Some of these
beliefs have been fully confirmed by contemporary scientific research,
some only in part, and some have been completely
rejected. The article gives a survey of some of these statements
as well as a survey of recent research reconsidering their viability.
The aim of this article is to demonstrate to what extent each of
these statements can be trusted, how much truth there is in them,
in order to help parents stimulate their children's talents properly
and successfully.
