I have gotten back all my results from my survey and I wasn't really surprised by them.In total there were 25 results which is what I was hoping to get.  My predictions were pretty accurate for the most part. Some questions that did surprise me was that there were a good amount of people who answered the question "have you ever said anything that your child repeated and you became embarrassed?" with no. This surprised me because I thought the number would  be a lot less than what it was. I really enjoyed researching and getting other peoples views on childhood socialization. 

So far for my survey, nothing more has really changed. I have gotten 4 more responses back and everything is still going as planned. I am still hoping to get back a few more results so hopefully by next week I will have 15 responses in total.

So far I think my survey I created is going well. I sent it to a few people yesterday and have already gotten back 7 results. The survey consists of 11 yes or no questions and there are 2 open ended questions. The information I gathered so far seems pretty accurate to what I thought it would be. I'm hoping to get back at least 5 more results from this survey.

The way that I will continue with my 2nd quarter project is to do a survey on how technology affects children and what their parents think about their behavior after watching a T.V. show or playing on the Iad ,Ipod , Iphone or any other electronic device. Another part of the survey will ask the parents questions to see if they have ever done anything and their child copied it and what the reaction was. For this survey I plan on giving it to the parents of my ccd class and also family friends with children. This will add up to about 20-30 people filling out the survey. I will be giving out this survey within the next week or so at my parish ccd class room and also at my family friends houses. Hopefully I will get the results back quickly so I can see what the parents really think.

The research method I decided to use for my second quarter project is a survey. For my 1st quarter project I focused mainly on the affects of social media, technology, the way parents play a role in children's behavior, and how children of same sex parents interact. For the survey, I want to ask parents how technology affects their children and what their opinion on their behavior is.

This week, I decided to focus on how children with same-sex parents interact with other children. It talks about how children with same-sex parents tend to be more open and flexible in choosing a toy they play with to their activity preference. This can be seen as a good thing for those children because it will help them later in life with different socialization skills. When it comes to boys with lesbian mothers, they were found to be less masculine in their play then boys with gay fathers. A Dutch study suggests that boys who score higher on feminine traits also have a better psychological adjustment score than boys with low feminine traits regardless of what family type (homosexual or heterosexual families). "Parents and educators agree that the socialization of strict adherence to traditional gender roles limits boys' and girls' developments". To view this article click here

 

 This week, I decided to look up how children are affected by the media especially by what they watch. I found this adorable video of these two boys dancing and singing to the "lazy song" by Bruno Mars. These children are being influenced by watching these music videos. I am not saying this is bad at all, but it just goes to show that what children see, hear, and watch really influence them and what they do. Some of the moves as well as the lyrics aren't the best influence on little children, but in the end I thought it was really interesting how children can pick things up so quickly and learn how to do them.
