If I had the means and the knowledge to conduct research studies about any topic in the early childhood field without any limitations or restrictions I think I would have to do some research on the personalities of the parents or legal guardians and how does it affect the personalities or behavior of the children so I guess my question or hypothesis would be: "Does the behavior or attitude of the parents or legal guardian play an important role in the behavior of the child(ren) and their attitude?"
Being that I have worked in several different settings of early childhood education I have come across numerous children and they have all had different types of attitudes, personalities and different behavior concerns. When working with children that are more mature than peers of the same age group I tend to wonder what their parents are teaching them or rather who they are watching at home to pick up on a certain behavior or attitude. I remember growing up and wanting to do some of the things that my friends were doing but my mom may have not necessarily cared for the way I was acting and she would always say, "Don't do what your friends are doing because they are going to get you in trouble; or she would say you need to find a different group of friends to hang with."
The purpose of the research study would be to simply show parents how they act around and towards their children have an effect on how their children act in school or interact with others away from home. The research will present many positive contributions to the children and their families especially the families where the child was experiencing a lot of behavior issues; hopefully, the research can bring awareness to the parents and legal guardians to watch the language that is being used around the child and the behavior or attitude that is being portrayed in front of the children as they are nothing but sponges soaking up every new thing that they see and what they assume to be normal behavior.
