碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 特殊教育學系 === 100 === This study is based on a self-narrative inquiry. As a sibling of gifted children, I have tried to write down the life stories of interaction with all my family members, especially my two younger brothers who are gifted and also skipped grades in their school stages. In the process of self-narration, I have focused on these significant fragments of memory that growing up with my siblings. Also, I tried to retrospect my family experience to review the mutual interpretation between family members, demonstrate the special family context of gifted sibling relationships, reconstruct and recognize the important meaning and development of sibling and parents-child relationships within a gifted family through conversation and interactions with all my family members. Finally, I found that when looking back on my family, there are 3 core values which built up by 3 important members—my grandfather, father and mother. They constructed a firm and stable foundation for my gifted family to develop successfully. Besides, I also found that many gradations and turning points in the sibling relationships were developed over time during school stage. Furthermore, the issues of how to develop the differences between siblings, share common time and experiences to empower family are also discussed in this research.
