Research that Benefits Children and Families

For this assignment I chose to do option two.  I chose this topic as I wanted to really think outside of the box and push the limits since I would have the knowledge and abilities to research anything without the real negative impacts to children.  The research topic I would pick if there were no limits or restrictions of today and I had the ability and the means to research anything would be to research how to reverse negative changes in brain development such as how the "wiring" of a child's brain changes due to the lack of brain stimulation within certain areas of the brain.   The research would involve the actual "re-wiring" of the brain and to determine if the reversal would be successful in changing the brain to function as a fully stimulation brain.  This would provide tremendous benefits to children as it would reserve the negative impacts on the brain from the adverse living conditions that some children live in.  Toxic stress, a depressed mother, and unsecure attachments are known to cause the wiring of the brain to actually change and sometimes replicate those in their living environment.  Imagine how the life of a child could be changed by having a stimulated brain that is ready to learn!    These children would have no emotional damage, no delays in their  learning, therefore they would have the proper foundation they need to live a happy, healthy and successful life.
