Addition to the hypotheses.

My last blog was about my hypotheses which is “Playroom activities helps Children feel better and improve their behaviour”

On Monday morning, during our critical thinking lesson, I discussed the hypotheses with my lecturer, Mr Zammit. He said that it was too vague “playroom activities.” Mr Zammit suggested analysing the type of playroom, so when I do my research I’ll get straight to the point.

I noted his comments and re-arranged my hypotheses. I did more research and I looked at the previous blogs that I have written. These blogs contained my thinking around creating my hypotheses. In my last blog, I wrote about an article I had read by Kathy Eugster, who is an MA, Counselling Psychology, Registered Clinical Counsellor, Certified Play Therapist and Child and Family Therapist.

Kathy Eugster says that a mental health professional used the power of play therapy with children that went through trauma.  As a counselling space, the playroom is the ideal room because it’s equipped with fun things that children love. 

When I read this again it occurred to me, that I could create a counselling playroom space where children could play and still be observe by the therapist.

During another consultation with Mr Zammit, I came up with a new hypotheses which is “Counselling playroom activity space that helps children improve their behaviour and feel better”

This essay is going to help me see if my hypotheses is adequate or not.   If during my research I found proves that the hypotheses is valid.  Therefore  my thesis is going to be based on this hypothesis.
