The goal of this study is to investigate whether a shared reading intervention including emotion and mind-related dialogues (SAGA for Toddlers) supports the development of 11 to 36 moth-old-children in early childhood education and care.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Does the SAGA model support children's social-emotional development? 2. Does the SAGA model support children's language development?
The participating children will attend the intervention at the early childhood education and care.
The participating personnel at the early childhood education and care will receive training, implement the intervention, and answer questionnaires.
The participating caregivers will attend caregiver-evenings and answers questionnaires.
