Abstract
This study sets out to examine the role of parents in helping their gifted adolescents
to enjoy peace of mind despite the turbulence of adolescence combined with the intricacies
of giftedness by helping these parents learn more about their gifted adolescents and
encouraging them to put such knowledge into practice to enhance not only the peace of
their children but theirs also. The statistical analyses of the pre- and post-test data collected
from the participants (N=31) self-rating scores on each of the peace enhancement
counseling tips before and after the training showed significant difference which indicate a
positive response to the peace-enhancement counseling program. These findings were
discussed and suggestions were made for further research.
