I am still a little boggled with the idea of research but the simulations and guidance from the textbook and the other directional articles. I have been working in the field of teaching children since I was eleven. I started as the teacher for the preschoolers in my church. Teaching has become a challenge for me health wise. At least, this last situation was such a struggle I had to quit. I had three children that were extremely disruptive, one physically and sometimes abusive, kicking, hitting, spitting on me, knocking me on the floor and threatening to kill me. I am sore, tired and discouraged. I want to stay in the early childhood field but have no idea where to go from here. I do not know how to go about researching areas that would be a good fit for me. Does anyone have any suggestions?
