Want to know more about how children develop? So do we! We invite you to participate in our research at College of Staten Island, where we try to answer questions like: How do children solve problems? When do babies recognize emotions? Why do children play? And, what can parents do to support their child's growth and development? Currently, most of our studies are being conducted remotely, so a typical study might involve filling out some online questionnaires or participating in a virtual study through Zoom or another video method. As a thank you, families will receive an electronic gift card or other small gift.
