According to the study conducted as part of the SEED project “on average 75% of 5 year-old children are doing well in terms of their social and emotional well-being, while there is reason for concern for a cross-country average of 24%”. The research was conducted in 5 European countries with an aim to raise awareness about the importance of children social and emotional wellbeing for their future learning and development. Researchers asked practitioners working with children to identify key factors in early childhood education and care settings they find the most important in this regard. According to the study, some of the factors that are positively associated with children wellbeing are “respectful relationships between practitioners and children and between children themselves, having indoor and outdoor play opportunities, and working closely and constructively with parents”, opposite to “large group size, level of diversity amongst children and lack of social cohesion in the community”.

The full research and a summary are now available in English, while summaries are also available Croatian, Dutch, Hungarian, Latvian and Norwegian here.
