Research that Benefits Children and Families

If I could conduct research now I would choose the topic of self-regulation. I have always wondered what makes some people learn to manage their emotions and have self-control and others do not. I would like to know what was different in their lives or genes that allow some people to lack self-control. I would like to know if it is something that can be learned or does genetics play a role in self-regulation.

In conclusion, I think that this would make a positive contribution because we would have a society with less violence. This would be a great benefit to the world. I definitely think that there has to be some way to teach self-control regardless if genetics plays a part in self-regulation. The positive contribution would be a world with less aggression and anger.

Personal research journey

The subtopic that I chose for my simulation is Ways to Foster Resilience in Children. My personal experience with this process has been very scary. I wanted to make sure that I did the literature reviews correctly and I am not sure. Everything about research scares me and I hope that we can help each other through this course. I found it hard trying to find information that I wanted to use for my simulation. There is so much good information out there and I wanted to make sure that I chose wisely.

Additionally, constructing the research chart did help me to understand key terms in research which will prove to be important to my success. The terms were kind of hard for me to understand at first, but I kept reading them over and over and trying to apply them correctly in a sentence. This helped me to gain a better understanding of the terms.

In conclusion, if anyone has any advice for me I would greatly appreciate it. I know this may be new to many of us and it will be good to rely on each other for support. I do not have any resources to share at this time, but when I do I will post them to the doc sharing page. I wish everyone luck and much success throughout this process.
