My Personal Research Journey
 
My chosen topic for the simulation this week was finding out the effects of trauma, specifically PTSD, in preschoolers. I have found many articles on trauma and stress on infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, but none specifically about PTSD in preschoolers. I will continue my search , but if not successful in finding something useful, I will concentrate on another one of my subtopics. I personally found it difficult to write my own literature reviews because I tend to be long-winded when I write. So condensing was a challenge. Filling out the research chart helped me to delve into what the terms really mean and think abut what approach I want to Anyone have any suggestions, advice, or insight that could help me with this process? It will be greatly appreciated!

    I respect you for taking on a such a tough subject. I know you will do good giving the children and families the assistance they need. If I come across anything I will definitely reach out to you. Thanks for sharing.

  3. Hi Lemora, you have chosen a tough but highly important topic! I would suggest contacting your local Department of Human Services Child Welfare workers to see if they may guide you in the right direction on where you may find more information on this topic. I know that in my experience working in child welfare, I saw a lot of children that were traumatized by what they had been put through. I hope this helps. Thanks
