Hello, gotoblack-ga!
There are a host of websites dealing with gifted and talented
children. However, since you have asked for those that offer parental
support or information, I have sifted through numerous sites to select
those that offer articles, forums, discussions and support aimed at
parents as well as children. I have also restricted these sites to the
United States, although I have included a link to some country
organizations and another reference to listings of state organizations
which appear to have resources for parents of high-achievers.
I hope these prove helpful!

needed information to the parents of gifted children. The need is
still there. Many gifted children are being destroyed in the public
education system. Many gifted children are being falsely labeled with
ADD as well as ADHD. And many parents are unaware their child/children
could be potentially gifted. The Foundation's main objective is to
reach out and help these precious children."
