My Personal Research Journey

When thinking of a topic to research, I find it intriguing to focus on The influence of family dynamics and structure on social/emotional development in young children   for my research simulation.  I have a strong desire to gain more insight on social/emotional development in children. As a special educator, I especially find it important to focus on this domain in early childhood development, due to my recent change professionally in working with students with autism whom have social/emotional weaknesses in a self-contained environment.
I’m looking forward to seeing if there are any indicators of family structure being having an impact on children from children; not necessarily with a disability but typical children. 
I think this research stimulation will help me with expanding my knowledge base with regards to social/emotional development, but also help me to service students with varied family structures.

  1. This research, if unrestricted, will help sooo many educators across the country and the world, and not just special or early childhood educators either. As a fifth grade teacher currently, I see the effects firsthand of children who haven't learned coping skills in early childhood setting and I really want to understand what they go through when they are not in care. Great topic Denise!
