Uplifting Stories

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.

Personal Reserach Journey

I have chosen the research topic of finding the importance of play and its development of children. I chose this topic because children are more interested with electronics in today's society and parents are allowing their children to sit with the electronics to keep the children quiet. Parents are not taking their children to the park and allowing children to play outside often. The importance for children to interact with other children helps children in their developmental areas and it is important for parents as well as teachers to understand the importance of play.
