The present study analyzes parent education programs designed for the parents of gifted children in Turkey, South Korea, and the USA, using the methodology given in the literature review. The literature review covers 4 dissertations and 10 articles and compares 14 programs. Firstly, the present study shows that all of the parent education programs in Turkey, South Korea, and the USA focus on the gifted children’s cognitive, social, and emotional needs and the demands and problems of parenting them. However, the two programs conducted in South Korea are different from those in Turkey and the USA in that they offered opportunities for creativity and art in parent education. There are other differences between the length of the programs and teaching methods for parents in each country. The shortest-term programs used in the USA and Turkey are shorter than those in South Korea. The teaching methods also show differences between Turkey in contrast to South Korea and the USA in terms of variety. Further studies may focus on multi-dimensions of parent education program with participation of gifted children.
