The roles of the modern family are realized through [1] reproductive function – which \n is reflected in the continuation of the species by means of producing offspring; emotional \n function – which is the fullest expression of the contemporary family and is completely \n detached from the reproductive function, it represents the pillar in preserving harmonious \n family relations and family integrity and is thus the most important function, which affects \n psychological stability of each family member; economical function – in modern world it is \n reflected in consumer society, where family income affects its stability; function of providing \n protection – which encompasses social, moral, legal and economic protection; educational \n function – considering that education is the right of every child, this function is realized by \n means of state-implemented systemic solutions, the result of which is the inclusion of \n children in the educational system, through various forms and levels of education; leisure \n function – which takes place in different forms, within the family circle but also outside of \n it, such as outings, vacations, events, meetings, social gatherings. This role implies family \n members spending quality time together, thus enriching experiences. The specifics of \n realization of family functions and their combinations depends on priority areas, value \n systems and family approach, which gives each family its authenticity. \n Each family is unique according to structure, dynamics, functioning and life cycle [2]. \n Family structure is comprised of members, their number and their role within it (father, \n mother, son, daughter, grandmother, grandfather, other close relatives). Family dynamics \n are determined by family subsystems, the relations within the same subsystem and those \n between different subsystems (spouse - spouse, parent - child/children, brother/sister - \n brother/sister i.e. siblings, and the relations with other family members). Different life \n cycles characterize the family in relation to defining roles within the unit. \n Gifted children and their families \n When studying the phenomenon of giftedness, the emphasis is quite often placed on \n the family of gifted individuals and on how much it can affect the development and \n expression of child’s productive giftedness. Giftedness in children can be detected quite \n early, especially in areas such as mathematics, music, ballet or chess [3]. However, the \n giftedness is most often defined as some exceptional ability which, as a rule, is followed by \n exceptional drive, exceptional motivation to master certain knowledge, skill, rules of a \n particular domain [4]. Giftedness is the organization of three characteristic properties: \n above average ability, fulfilling the tasks and creativity [5 - 13]. Therefore, giftedness can, \n according to today's inclusive concepts, occur in (almost) any domain of human activity, and \n exceptional achievement in different domains cannot be reduced to just one general \n intellectual ability [14]. The results referring to IQ alone are considered to be inadequate \n for determining giftedness, so a multiple identity system is accepted [15]. Determining the \n different characteristics of gifted students has a major role in creating the program, \n providing advice and determining the content intended for gifted students. In the literature, \n the terms giftedness and talent often appear alternately, but talent is generally considered \n to be an integral part of giftedness [9], i.e. giftedness in one narrow field (academic, artistic, \n sports talent). Despite the strong, unequivocal genetic influence, the literature [8, 9, 16] \n also shows that children's development and the development of giftedness in childhood are \n greatly influenced by family lifestyles, values, goals and other environmental \n characteristics. An important role in the growth, development and upbringing of gifted \n children is played by the parents, i.e. the children's families. Every child affects other \n children in the family, but because gifted children require so much attention and additional \n Journal of Social Sciences June, 2021, Vol. 4","bbox":{"left":0.102432,"top":0.05063,"width":0.7974680000000001,"height":0.8987170000000001}}],"images_bbox":[],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[]}
