The Product
So far, I feel as though my senior project has given me insight of other people's lives. It has opened up my eyes to the fact that life isn't all good things, but bad things as well. I am now more sympathetic to other people, especially towards children because in my research I have learned one of the symptoms that are seen in abused children is that they tend to have trouble creating relationships with other people. In my service learning and in different volunteering that I have done, I have interacted with many kids. These kids are all different, some were sweet, others were smart, some were funny, and others were just too quiet to know anything about them. When it came down to those kids I felt the need to give a little more attention to them because I felt as though they needed it. People never know what is going on in another person's life, they usually judge or do things to make their life impossible. I have learned to not be so much like this and be more understanding of other people's lives and experiences.

Independent Component 2 Approval
1. This independent component I plan on doing something that helps me work hands on with the types of therapy. I am still not sure exactly what to do, but I would like to work with some kids, or have therapy myself and go to my own therapy sessions and have the therapist use the different types of treatments on me.
2. I would go several times to treatments and count the time that I was in a therapy session. I would make sure that they add up to 30 hours.
3. In my EQ, I have to answer with different types of treatment. "What is the best way to treat an abused child?" Even though I haven't been abused, I think that I have been through other things and going to therapy and experiencing treatments first hand would give me a better understanding of the different types of treatment.

Answer 1
(1) What is answer 1 to your EQ? Be specific in your answer and write it like a thesis statement.
Play therapy is one of the ways to psychologically treat abused children. It allows them to express their feeling while doing something they know how to do very well, play.
(2) What possible evidence do you have to support this answer?
Since children are playing, they are in their comfort zone. Therefore, they express themselves easier, and they don't feel uncomfortable. According to the Play Therapy Association of the United States, Aristotle and Plato once reflected on the importance of play in our lives. When children feel like they are doing something that they know how to do, without thinking that it's therapy they use the toys as words to express what they are feeling which is easier, not only for the child but also for the therapists. It is easier to understand what the child is feeling.
(3) What source(s) did you find this evidence and/or answer?
http://www.a4pt.org/ps.index.cfm?ID=1653 and that is main type of therapy that my service learning place uses, so I have learned several things about play therapy.
