Abstract

Japan has several initiatives regarding social and emotional learning (SEL) in early childhood education and care (ECEC) settings, although finding SEL interventions for the ECEC context is difficult. There are state initiatives along with several research institutes advocating the development of social and emotional skills in children. Practitioners have many ways of assessing these skills. There are interventions available, though this is predominantly for school-aged children.
