If I could do research on any topic in early childhood to create a positive contribution, it would be towards the welfare reform. Due to it being so many families who are of low income, welfare helps but it only does so much to help the children. It is said that low income children still show lower levels of school involvement and higher levels of behavioral problems. Welfare reform policies should be evaluated and adapted with children's outcomes within the issue. Welfare benefits adults by increasing employment and income of single parents. To improve children's well-being, I believe that earning supplements can be very important to complement programs aimed at improving the development of low income children. By concentrating on putting money into the quality of early childcare and education can help foster children's positive development and school readiness. This can help children stay out of trouble, have a healthy future, and to most of all get out of welfare and make a great living for themselves.

Personal Research Journey
Hi everyone! I am doing my research on prematurity and the developmental support for those children and their families. I chose this topic because of my own personal experience of being born as a premature child. My mom and dad endured some hardships and emotional pain because of my conditions. My biggest issue was that I could not breathe on my own so my parents had to dish out some serious money to keep me alive. I was on the hospital for 3 months before I could go home with my parents. My mother never said much about developmental support even though I am pretty sure she got a lot from NICU at the hospital. As far as early intervention services, I do not know of that either. I will probably ask her soon enough to see how it helped her cope with my conditions. I want to take a look at other successful programs and interventions for premature children to really see what was done to help these families.
