Research Simulation

I never worked with small children before but I was in the Americorps Program working with Chamber's Middle School and I work with teenagers assisting the teacher in teaching reading.  I have a B.S. in Social Work I went into that field because I love working with people in general wether they are children, teenagers or adults.  I like to help and do for other peoples and I also know that I want to work with the little children and this will be a challegene for me because there are so many childre in school with disabilities problems and they will need that one on one help.  I really had not quite made up my mind about what particular issue that I would like to research on because I am interesting in knowing everything about the early childhood program.

Subtopics
1.  In what ways can the teacher help build the children social skills.
2.  How does role play help develop the children social skills.
3.  What are the disadvantages of children not developing their social skills on time.


I think I would like to do some research on social development and some issues I would bring up will be how does play help the children develop  their social skills, What are the benefits of children developig social and how do the children get along with their peers and with adults. Children need to develop not only their social skills but also their motor skills, and their cognitive skills. Because they must learn to think for themselves and learn how to think out side the box. They need their motor skills to be able move around.
