The Impact Of The Pandemic On Adolescents, Rachel Smith, Cameron Wheeler

Fall Showcase for Research and Creative Inquiry

Due to Covid-19, millions of people have been forced to quarantine at home with their family for the majority of 2020. This can have negative impacts on a child's mental health. In some cases the parents are fighting a lot, maybe they have a substance abuse problem, and may be struggling financially because of the many jobs knocked out by Covid in 2020. Therefore in many cases, a child being forced to stay at home with their family can be a bad thing.

High Hopes: Physical Education For At-Risk Preschoolers In Northeast Colorado, Jessica Honeycutt Firme

Spring Showcase for Research and Creative Inquiry

The Effects Of Teenage Pregnancy On A Teen Mother's Socio-Emotional Development And Processes, Afton Jones Nov 2020

The Effects Of Teenage Pregnancy On A Teen Mother's Socio-Emotional Development And Processes, Afton Jones

Fall Showcase for Research and Creative Inquiry

For this poster, I will be focusing on the topic of Teen Pregnancy and its Effects on a Teen Mother’s Socio-Emotional Development. There is a wealth of information on how teen pregnancy can affect the socio-emotional development of the child of a teen parent, however, there is significantly less research on the mother. This topic relates to human development by exploring the socio-emotional effects of teen pregnancy. Considering social-emotional development is an area of child development, I think if teen pregnancy does have a significant effect on that area, then teen pregnancy shapes what a child/teen could become. The teen …
