Research That Benefits

After having my first child I experienced postpartum depression. A lot of my sadness was a result of countless sleepless nights. I could not function, I didn't feel like myself, and most importantly I was unable to be the best to my most prized gift. Many moms experience this unless they sleep train. Something that I did not do. 

Though I did not sleep train, my first child, I do plan to with my second as I have been informed by all of my mom friends that did try the Ferber method that they were much happier, their baby slept better and was much happier. And it doesn't get any better than a happy mommy, because a happy mommy brings a happy baby.

Though this method seems harsh the results outweigh a couple nights of crying. 

For those of you unaware of the Ferber method, it is basically allowing your baby to cry it out for a couple of night until they get the idea that they can sleep alone. 

I think this research is beneficial to those parents and families that can stand a few days of crying. 

Personal Research Journey

Use the Blog, this week, to tell your colleagues about your chosen topic for the simulation and why you chose it. Write about your personal experience with this simulation process. Share any insights you have gained so far from constructing the research chart, and from any other element of this course. Ask your colleagues if they have any advice or insight that might help you with this process and/or with this course. As well, share resources if you can, and ask them to share resources with you.

I have a burning passion for and an intense interest in student poverty and its impact on how things flow in the classroom. For that reason, my chosen topic is how does childhood poverty impact daily student behavior. More specifically I am interested in how many behavioral infractions do students who experience poverty encounter than their economically stable counterparts.
Constructing the research charts I have discovered my APA format citations need some work, I have discovered a set criterion to determine if I have encountered a credible resource, and that there is a structure to research that makes the tedious task on of ease.
If there is any advice you would like to give me on my research topic I welcome it. 

At this time I do not have any resources to share.
