STATEMENT OF PROBLEM/RESEARCH QUESTIONS
Topic: preparing offspring for parenthood
1. How do parents prepare offspring for parenthood?

2. How does preparing offspring for parenthood benefit them?
3. What are some problems faced with preparing offspring for parenthood?
REASON FOR SELECTING AREA OF RESEARCH
I chose this topic the extent to which families in my village prepare their offspring for
parenthood because I want to investigate how parents prepare their offspring for parenthood in
my community. I would like to observe how it can benefit them, both mentally and physically. I
would mainly be focusing on how parents can be role models towards their offspring by giving
them physical attention, advice on how to be responsible and what is right from wrong.
Preparing for parenthood is necessary because becoming a parent brings changes to a person
which includes their life roles. Therefore, they have to take steps to manage changes by
considering skills, tasks, and experiences. It has been said that parenting is the hardest job in the
universe as well as the least prepared. Digging into this topic would show how one can prepare
for parenthood with the help of human resources, that being families in my community. It would
also show how offspring can prepare for mental and emotional changes.

METHOD OF INVESTIGATION
In order to conduct research on my topic “the extent to which families in my village prepare their
offspring for parenthood.” I decided to conduct a survey using printed questionnaires, in order to
gather information for the survey.
Using a questionnaire allows me to:
 Collect a large amount of data in a short space of time.
 Collect numerical data which can generally be used to produce diagrams.
 Printed questionnaires are affordable for me as a student to generate.
