Personal Research Journey

The topic that I choose for the simulation has to do with the social emotional aspect of children's development,  primarily their behaviors and encouraging positive behaviors in preschoolers  I choose this topic based on my personal interest of raising two young children and wanting too help them develop into well adjusted children and my professional interest in this topic derives from the challenging behaviors that I see displayed within some of the early childhood classrooms.
There are many articles that I found through searching the Walden library on the subject of challenging behaviors in preschoolers if anyone knows links to articles, journals or has expertise on the subject that deal with building positive behaviors in preschoolers or positive emotional outlets I would appreciate it if you could share.
My personal experience with stimulation process has been enhanced by the information learned in week 1. I was able to go though the many articles on the topic I choose  to quickly find out whether the article was what I was looking for without reading the entire article.

  1. I feel like our topics are similar and we may benefit from some of the same resources. Have you encountered any information on the behavior and emotional rating scales that some schools utilize to help assess behavior?

  2. Hi Tiffany,
    Your topic sounds very interesting. I think that it is extremely important to encourage positive behaviors in young children and teach them to problem solve if they become upset that things are not going their way. I look forward to reading what you discover about social/emotional development and children's behaviors, and will share any information that I may come across in regard to this topic.
