Research

When I was working for a Head Start program, I served on an Early Childhood board for a local Community College. While serving on the board, we were given the task to research and see what things child care providers thought the students who completed student teaching in their programs needed to learn. Members of the board interviewed child care providers, students, and teachers as well as conducted surveys. We were able to provide the head of the Early Childhood Education department with excellent feedback that was not only helpful for the students, but for the teachers as well. One thing we found out was that with Head Start being one of the nation’s leading programs for infants and children, students did not have a lot of knowledge about the program and the services that it provides.

The topic I chose is the correlation between a child’s diet and their behavior. The reason why I picked this topic is that I have seen children placed on medication because of behaviors and it completely changes their personally. I find it heartbreaking to see a child who was once active and inquisitive sit in a chair staring into space. I have a grandson who is diagnosed as being ADHD, and his mom started looking into alternative treatments. I would like to have any suggestions that will aid me in this process.
