Critical Consumers of Research: Standard and Guidelines

Your Personal Research Journey

The topic I chose for simulation is How to Support Children during the Grieving Process. I chose this simulation because often times when children have being affected by death in some time of way little or no emphasis is place on children. Having young children I have found that when their peers have in encountered the death of a love one they wanted to support them however they were confuse as to how to support them. Adults sometime take for granted that children do really understand the death process and do not acknowledge children at all.  Death is a nature part of life and children are affected by it as well therefore, as I grow in the field I want to be accurately support children with this process.
I had so many questions it was difficult to narrow my simulation down. There were several angles I could explore with this topic. Overall, I feel that focusing on support children during the process the most important.  As a result of constructing the research chart I was gained insight on how to locate answers I had to questions.  Although, I found challenges with determining credible web sources after farther exploration I was able to determine techniques to identify credible web sources.
If any of you have any advice, encounter a resource on tool that you feel could assist me with proceeding in this process or with this course please do not hesitate to share it with me. As I locate resources I will share them with you all as well.
