Research that Benefits Children and Families

Option 2.
My research study will make a positive difference to the well-being of children and families. I would choose the topic of cancer for my research topic. There are so many people now that are being diagnosed with cancer every day. People of every age are having to go through cancer treatments. I would like to imagine that my research would lead to a cure for cancer. This might include medicines, natural herbal supplements, etc., that people could take that would cure cancer 100 percent. This topic is relevant to my personal life as my dad is a cancer survivor. My grandfather had cancer as well but we did not know until he died. I can help share my experience with other families that may be dealing with family members going through cancer situations.

Personal Research Journey

I have chosen the research topic of anger and ways to calm children when they are angry or upset about something. I have chosen this topic because each year, I see more and more children that seem like they stay angry all the time. I have my own ways to help try to calm them down but would like to learn other ways and activities to help these children. I plan to take the research simulation process a step at a time. I have learned from this course so far that it is not necessary to read all of a research report. Sometimes things may look like a site may be research creditable but when looked at closely, it may not be what it appears to be. Is there any insight that my colleagues have that may help me in my research process? Any good websites on anger management for children?
