Research that Benefits Children

My experience inregards to research is non exsistent. I have hopes to change this the further I go with school and then someday enter the as an early childhood advocate. As an adocate I have a heart for the children if I can conduct a research project that can help children in anyway I will feel like I have accomplished something great. To have the ability to think out of the box to think of a concept that has not been research before is something that many strive for.
If I was given an opportunity to tp perform a research project I would probably look for a topic that can help my learn more about the emotional needs of small children. At an early age when children cannot communicate their feelings and thought but it is evident that they observe and retain what they see around them I do not believe we as adult can even begin to know their little minds are thinking. Specifically children thatwatch those around them fight and yell what is going throught their little heads. Is it crossing their minds that they are the reason for the fight? Are they thinking of ways they can make it stop. As an advoacate my job will be to be the voice for those little ones that can not protect themselves. If there are little ones who have needs that are not being taken care of I want to be able step in soothe those little minds so that they know they are not the reason for the fighting. It is out of their control and I am sure that makes them feel even more helpless than they already are. One positive this project may be able to accomplish is helping educators or other advocateslearn what is necassary in calming the minds of little ones that otherwise would not have the feelings addressed. It is important that children realize that when there is fighting going on around them that it is not their fault and they do not have to feel guilty or take ownership for what is going on around them.
