This study explores the needs of gifted underachievers, classified by Betts and Neihart (2010), and seeks effective parenting strategies to support their academic potential. Using a narrative literature review, databases such as SAGE, Google Scholar, and ResearchGate were searched with keywords related to gifted underachievers, self-esteem, and parenting strategies, yielding eight relevant articles. Findings suggest that self-esteem is essential for academic success (Batool, 2019), with authoritative, compassionate parenting positively linked to increased self-esteem (Hesari & Hejazi, 2011). However, pandemic-related challenges have strained parent-child relationships (Bülow et al., 2021), highlighting the need for strategies to strengthen these bonds and support self-esteem. This study offers insights for parents and counselors to enhance the academic and emotional development of gifted underachievers.
