Inhaltsangabe

In the common sense belief, gifted children are free of any problem becuase it is assumed that they can overcome whatever obstacle they encounter with their superior abilities. However, observations & experiences of authors as well as the literatures in the area witness that these children are surrounded by a number of external & internal factors that obstruct their socio-emotional & intellectual development. Hence, these children strongly need physical & social environments that nurture them so that they can develop to their highest level. This work is devoted to the analysis of the concepts of giftedness & risk factors, major types of external & internal risk factors for gifted children, how each of these factors hampers their socio-emotional & intellectual development, research findings in the area, & finally the possible strategies proposed by various authors for identifying these children & for providing them with relevant services. The work is hoped to be source of valuable information for helping professionals in the gifted programs, health professionals, parents, teachers,researchers, & university students etc.who work with gifted children.
