Research that benefits children and families

If I had the funds to complete a full research project I would do it over ADD/ADHD in children and their families. My son has ADD/ADHD and ODD and even at 17 his is more severe. There are so many medications that claim to fix the problem but add other problems such as severe mood swings like depression and anger. Because of this i have taken him off all medications and we just deal with the disability itself on a minute to minute basis. I think this would help the children and the families better advocate for their child. This type of disability does not just effect the child, it effects everyone in the family and school. I also believe that it is hereditary because I have it and other family members have it down the blood line.
 

My Personal Research Journey

I have not totally decided on a topic for research. I have however narrowed it down to two topics.

• Technology in the classroom-Pros and Cons
• Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum for early Childhood- Which one is best

I have chosen these two because i am no longer allowed to use technology in my classroom but I feel that my children learned so much while we did use it. As for curriculum, I do not feel that the curriculum that I am using is best and would like to find one that better suits the needs of early childhood children.

I will have to choose only one topic. Let me ask you which one you think I should do?
