Hello, friends! I am having a bit of a struggle trying to decide on a good, manageable research question. I am very interested in learning about whether center based options or home visiting options are more successful for families and children. I have read that center based options are more effective. However, in my program we have both and I see that the home visitors work more in depth with the family and seem to have a better impact on helping the family to improve their life situations, which would seem to be more life long and also to have a greater impact on the success of the child and the family. So, my question would be which one is right? Does being in a center have a greater impact on future success for that child, or home visiting?
What really worries me is that this is too large of a topic. I am worried that it is too broad or too general and that I will have a difficult time with it. However, our instructor seems to think that this is a workable question. What do you guys think? Is it manageable? Is there a way to focus it down a bit more?
I also agree that this is a workable question. Maybe you can just guide your questions to narrow it down slightly. For example possibly child in at home care facilities and day cares and their attendance rates. I have heard that children who attend home care facilities tend to not get sick as much. I have always wondered how true this was.

ReplyDeleteI find that this is a broad, yet attainable question. Think about a specific topic within. Are you considering the health aspect, academic aspect, social aspect? By breaking it into a specific area to focus on it, it may make it easier than an over all. Perhaps an aspect of healthier attachment? Hope this helps some.
