Hmmmm... I don't think that article is talking about 'gifted' in the sense of intelligence but more as obtaining a skill or talent that sets them apart such as athletes, actors, and singers (like Michael Jackson). And the issue they talk about is parents' involvement in ensuring the dream is meet: the pushing factor. Now the pushing factor is an issue for any form of 'gifted' be it intelligence or talent in another form. As for intellect, it happens all the time. An above average child is pushed to keep above the curve in hopes that they will be identified as gifted. There are many reasons for this pushing, but the main one is usually a status for the parents.
