I joined this lab because I was interested in learning how children regulate their emotions and how children and parents interact with each other. I have learned how impactful children’s experiences are on their development down the road, and joining the DESC Lab has shown me the behind-the-scenes of creating psychological studies. I interact with children every day as a dental assistant, and my future goals involve becoming a pediatric orthodontist, so understanding how children behave in stressful situations is interesting and applicable in many ways.
