Research that Benefits Children and Families
A topic I would choose to study would be implementing effective early childhood programs and rigorous, age- appropriate curriculum for older toddlers to help with the development of academic and social skills. I would choose this topic because I have a two year old son, and he amazes me with things that he has learned early on because he has been taught and introduced to these new concepts. For instance, he has learned his name starts with a Kk/ and will even try writing it. I would be intrigued to see if we start implementing early education programs and curriculum for toddlers, the advancements we could have for children that would be more school ready. Also I think it may show how appropriate education can help build a child’s cognitive and social skills if we start even early in age.

Hi Tierra
ReplyDeleteYour son seems to be demonstrating what happens with parent involvement. Which is an important topic as well. It seems as if you have already developed a curriculum for your son one that is giving him that early head start for school readiness.
This is a very interesting topic and much needed approach. I too believe that we often underestimate the abilities of our young children and place our projected limitations on them. Maybe there should also be a ECE parenting component to assist in reinforcing at home, what is being attempted in schools.
