If I possess the means and knowledge to conduct
research studies about any topic in the early childhood field it would be
helping children growing up in poverty. Knowing the effects of children growing
up in poverty I would collect data from sources that could help children as
well as the families who are a part of the situation. This positive contribution
would really affect the well being of families as well as the children because
it helps with their development. Children growing up in poverty has a
disadvantage verses the children who comes from a wealthy family. I would
research ways to decrease the disadvantage were all children has the same chances
of becoming successful in life. I personally know of children and I also work with children of low income parents. In my opinion, children who are in wealthy families parents send their children to the best childcare centers were as low income families does not base their children childcare on the quality, education of the teachers, and importance of their development. It is important for my research to allow children living in poverty to be considerate of the importance of the early years of life and development.
