When I Think of Research...

When I was thinking of a research topic for my simulation, I figured I would choose one that I was experiencing and/or had experienced at some point during my teaching career. This is why the topic of childhood illness piqued my interest. I have had the opportunity to work with children who had been diagnosed with a childhood illness such as Type 1 diabetes and leukemia.

I enjoy being with “my children” because they keep me on my toes and teach me new things almost every day, especially since they are all unique individuals. One goal I would like to set is that everyone in the early childhood field would treat all children and families with respect. I understand that this may be difficult to accomplish since we have conscious and unconscious biases towards our own and other groups. However, if we all make a conscious effort to
