The goal is to guide children to become responsible, self-disciplined people. Problem solving, decision making, and conflict resolution are important parts of everyday life. 1. Write a focus statement

The participants in this study were chosen because they are a part of the school community. They have an understanding of what is being taught, social aspects and procedures and protocols. It is important to understand the subjects and in the time frame of the study will allow the best access to them. It will provide maximum information in a short amount of time. My children will be the variables due to the fact that I am not employed in a classroom. 2. Define the variables-understand the need

What strategies can I apply to incorporate the use of technology within the home and outside the home that will guide children to become responsible, self-disciplined people? What programs can be utilized to promote success and safety that will provide my children equitable access to success in an atmosphere that has positive and acceptable boundaries? What methods will engage the participants who are struggling with confidence to embrace values that include honesty, confidence, kindness, equality, and respect? 3. Develop research questions

The intention is to implement a check list of acceptable boundaries and guidelines for the participants to follow. There will be a continual process of evaluation in order to monitor the effects and process of the boundaries and how they improve the intended goal. 4. Intervention
