Personal Research Journey

The topic I chose was Social Emotional Development and the reason I chose it is because since starting my career as a teacher I have come in contact with so many children with social-emotional problems. I find ways to help a child social emotional problems, I seek out help if needed for feedback on the issue. I also have partnered other children with children who is lacking in this area. I can recall a child I had before who didn't talk, play or interact with the other children. After speaking to parents I decided to partner the child with another child and soon the child who is lacking in the area began to interact with other children and talking more in class. We never know what children are dealing with at home and they bring those issues to school with them. I strive to find ways to improve children's thinking skills and social emotional skills. Over the next 6 weeks I will be researching this topic more to get a better understanding of it and finding ways to improve a child's social emotional skills so they can lead successful productive lives.

  1. Hey Monica,
    I think this is an awesome topic. I am interested to find out more about what you find. I work as a Instructional Assistant for the Special Education grades 3-5 in a self contained classroom. Their emotions are all over the place. So this would help me to help better assist them. Good luck with your research.

  2. Hello Monica,
    You are definitely on point. WE never know when a child is having issues at home. I remembered having a child that wouldn't talk. I talked to the mom, and she stated the child can talk. One day coming in to work, I witnessed mom screaming and slapping the child upside their head. I heard mom tell the child if you say anything I will get you again. the child was being abused, and mom told the child not to talk. I immediately called CPS.
