I reviewed the website Early Childhood Development Virtual University. I am familiar from other class assignments and researching early childhood development that other countries tend to be ahead of the U.S. in regards to education services for early childhood education. The research confirms that regardless of where in the world similar questions arise and therefore research is conducted. From reviewing various projects that have been submitted topics include single motherhood/poverty, brain development, child development, psychosocial development, cognitive development, curriculum, and using community resources to assist families. One aspect that is not prominent or at least not to my knowledge is children in the U.S. that are being raised by grandparents that are affected by HIV/AIDs. My experiences consist of a lot of foster parenting by grandparents but due more to chemical dependency or incarcerated fathers. The papers also tended to have a cultural and environmental theme. Cultural aspects added to research questions as well as environment effects of living in a rural area. I did find it interesting that many topics were submitted for Bachelor's Degrees. I did not have thesis for my Bachelor's Degree.
