research topic

In class Thursday we were supposed to come up with a topic that interested us for our paper we will be writing. Usually I have a hard time picking a topic but for some reason I got an idea right away this time. My topic is how are children affected when they are raised by grandparents instead of their parents. This is a really interesting topic to me because my family has helped raise my cousin who is 7. She is now living with her dad and grandma, and her brother who is 12 is living with his grandparents on his mom's side. Their grandparents love them and are doing their best to raise them, but it is not the same as having the parents there every day.
