The hypothesis states that Småsteg is superior to play only in improving children's SEL. In the study, 990 children within 66 kindergartens will be recruited and allocated following the randomization at the school level. The primary outcome is based on the Strength and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), which will be answered by parents and teachers at baseline, immediately after the 28 weeks of intervention and then six months after the change to the new school (K1). The secondary outcome is empathy, assessed by the Empathy Questionnaire for Children (EmQue), a parent report-based questionnaire comprising 15 items assessing three domains: emotion contagion, attention to other's feelings, and prosocial actions.\n\nSmåsteg could impact the joint attention score, which, in turn, affects the SDQ score. A mobile application (app) will be developed to track children's behaviors via teachers, parents, and children's activities. This study contributes to the scientific understanding of how such interventions can impact SEL and future academic achievement in kindergarten-aged children but also brings insights into mechanisms throughout intervention like Småsteg in early childhood might help the development of SEL, shaping early education policies and practices.",[86],"Universal Behavioral Supports",[88,89],"Teacher training","second step","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-08-04",{"date":93,"type":94},"2025-08-08","ACTUAL",{"date":96,"type":80},"2025-09-01",{"date":98,"type":80},"2028-06-30",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
