Take A Closer Look: Combating Ageism Through The Use Of Children's Literature, Janice Buehrer
Honors Projects
This project was completed as my final honors project for Bowling Green State University in the spring of 2024.

Exploring The Unique Experiences Of Biological Children In A Foster Family, Alana Marsh
Honors Projects
:The purpose of the following research was to identify the experiences and needs of biological children in a foster family.

Analysis of 21 survey answers and thorough review of literature indicated significant lack of available resources for foster parents to utilize when preparing their biological children for this family change. Results also showed that children held damaging misconceptions …
