Abstract :
Intellectual giftedness brings several consequences that could hamper social relationships between gifted children and their peers. In an attempt to overcome the conf lict between the need to make friends and the need to achieve excellence in the areas of interest, then the gifted children have experienced the process of social adjustment. The subject of this qualitative research is three gifted children who study in the regular classes in the school. The results show that there are six protective factors supporting the adaptive achievement of social adjustment: mother's knowledge about giftedness, maternal support, communication between parent and teacher , teacher's knowledge about giftedness, teachers' support, and positive character of the child.
