Early Childhood Research

I believe the most effective research that has been conducted in the early childhood field has been the interpersonal relationships between providers and parents. I believe that this research is and has proven to be the most important, especially when this seems to be a reoccurring problem throughout early childhood organizations.

Working at a school-age center, the most important relationship we have to maintain is with the children and their families. We need to ensure open communication is clear for all parties involved, considering the amount of time that is spent with the child.

There are so many extremities to consider and the complexities of each relationship could go on and on.

Emotional Development in Children

The concept of emotional development in children is interestingly vague. There are several points of emotional development and it's such a widespread topic, it's difficult to limit it to a specific variety.

I chose this topic because I feel as though it would be extremely beneficial to learn about the ins and outs of the emotional complexities that vary with children and their age groups. I feel as though all early childhood members should have a justified idea of the emotional attachment children share and the emotional development they encounter while they grow up.

It's an interesting topic to think about and study about. Having children, you know about their development and you can see their growth as they grow older, but it's different with the children that are in daycares or childcare centers or even school because there's a specific side that providers see and we don't have enough time to see their growth in depth.
