A positive example of child research that has produced
positive effects are with learning how to control cognitive-behavioral and
social problem-solving skills. I feel that this topic of research is relevant
in all means because it can help a lot of children deal with emotional issues
and learn how to cope with school and solve problems. In the research, “Resilience
Research in Children” presented by Positive Psychology Center, children attended
certain cessions of research where they learn “assertiveness, negotiation, decision-making,
social-problem solving, and relaxation”. All of these methods can teach and
inspire individuals who have problems with their emotional control as well as
their behavior. This research method should be displayed in more schools so
that the issue of unwanted behavior can cease.

Children these days are dealing with a lot of behavioral and emotional problems that they are encountering at home or even at school. The more we learn about how to help them deal with these issues the better teachers we are going to become. This sounds like a very interesting topic to study and learn more about. The earlier we help children learn how to handle these behavioral and emotional issues, the better chance they are going to have of succeeding during their school years. Great topic to study and research.
ReplyDeleteHi Andrea,
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how much we have in common. we choose the same topics, about resilience in children and how children handle fears. Learning more about Resilience will enable us even more to understand the emotions of children. I know we can assist each other. Thank you for your post.

Andrea,
ReplyDeleteResearch has contributed greatly to the understanding of cognitive development in relation to behavior in young children. It stresses the importance of the environment and the implication of positive and negative reinforcement and that social influences are evident. It is a very important subject to study.
