Topic:
How trauma impacts emotional development in children? This has always been something I have been interested in as an educator and a few semesters ago I took a childhood trauma class and would like to expand my knowledge about this topic.. especially as a soon to be mother!
Proposed audience:
I think the proposed audience would be parents as well as any population directly working with children such as teachers, intermediate families, counselors, etc.
Where and how you might access the needed data set:
I would access the needed data sat by using Google Scholar articles or InfoKat.
Why you think this would be a good research project to present to your audience.
I think this would be a good research project to present to my attended audience as it would shed light on how trauma impacts children. Although we know children are resilient, but many adolescents are struggling with managing their wellbeing and I think that correlation may be because of the traumas they’ve faced. If we can gain more insight to this matter, we can learn how to support children to enhance their overall wellbeing.
