Suggestions for a paper?
I am in a Child Welfare and Protective Services course and one of our final papers is 7-10 pages on a specific type of child maltreatment and one method of treatment for the problem. I'm having a hard time thinking of a topic that isn't too broad (I don't want to pick a big topic and not do it justice since the paper is only 10 pages) or too specific (so that I wouldn't have enough information to write about).
I'm trying to go ahead and finish all of my papers early in the semester so I'll be more help to Mom and my family later when they need me. Any suggestions for a topic??

 I'm leaning towards emotional abuse, because I think this often gets neglected and overlooked even though it has a HUGE impact on the child, but I'd need to narrow it quite a bit...and that's hard to do without making it TOO specific. New ideas are more than welcome though... I just want to get started so I can feel productive.

By the way, did you mean your specialty is writing or issues involving children?

I thought about that...but it's almost as broad a topic as emotional abuse. The four main types of maltreatment are emotional abuse, neglect, sexual abuse, and physical abuse, so I probably need to be more specific than any of these. Maybe I could focus on blended families or single-parent families or something like that?

Angie, maybe use an age category, say 5 to 7 or 8 to 10, and like Cindy said, place yourself in the child's "point of view" it will make it easier.
