My Personal Research Journey
I have chosen the topic of children being obese and bullied in
the early childhood education field. The
reason why I chose this particular topic is because I have observed young children
that are overweight, and those that are bullied by other children. We know that children in everyday movement
activities also progress in emotional, social, and cognitive development. Obesity is on the rise and I believe we also
need to give children the attention that is recommended early in life. There are vast amounts of ways to prevent
being overweight and exercising too little.
This area has always been an interest to me, because I have
lived through this particular circumstance myself. I am willing to learn about the study of
obesity, and I want to continue to research it.
This is why everyone needs to start the positive techniques at home, simply
by eating more fruits and vegetables and exercising. Furthermore, I would like to know the
following: Why children bully other children that are obese? What kind of
benefit do they receive from it?
My colleagues I need you to
provide me much advice and resources that can accommodate me through this
course. I am very appreciative from all
support.
What a great topic. Obesity is definitely a growing problem within our country currently. Many families do not realize the danger that they are putting their children in by continuously making making unhealthy choices. I feel as though family education is extremely important on this topic.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great topic. Many families are raising obese children in homes where the adults are also over weight. The cycle continues and the children don't learn healthy eating and exercise habits. The additional topic of bullying is certainly a newsworthy topic these days. Will you look at all the reasons children bully, or just the reasons they bully obese children?
ReplyDeleteVery interesting!
Hi Janet,
ReplyDeleteI think you have chosen a good topic. Children are increasingly becoming obese because of lack of physical activity and poor eating habits. Obesity can lead to diabetes and other serious health conditions. Many children are bullied because of their weight, which in turn causes great stress. I will most definitely inform you of any resources or information I may discover in regard to this topic.
