Abstract: Counseling
for the Academically
Gifted Children. The
number of academically gifted
children is quite high distributed in all areas. The academically gifted children
will be benefecial
for themselves and
other people, if
they can develop optimally. There
are many academically gifted children who are succesful in their life; however
we can find some who are in difficulty. They need counseling services. There
are some important
issues in counseling,
especially for the academically gifted
children, such as:
(1) divergent thinker,
(2) excitability, (3) sensitivity, (4)
perceptiveness, (5) entelechy.
(6) self-concept, (7)
counseling with parents, and (8)
underachievement. To help
them face important
issues, social-personal counseling,
academic counseling, and
career counseling are
necessary. These three counseling
approaches can be conducted
simultaneously, depending on
their needs. The models and strategies of counseling for the academically
gifted children are therapeutic,
preventive, and developmental
models. The choice
of models is strongely
determined by the
need of effective counseling,
in order to achieve the optimal result. To establish
the effective counseling, it is necessary that counseling services should be
conducted by professional counselors.
