SURVEY FOR PARENTS

Dear parents,

We are fourth-year students of the Bachelor’s program in Childhood Pedagogy at Vilnius College. We are currently writing our thesis for pedagogical studies and conducting research on children's (5-6 years) social-emotional expression. We ask you to answer three open-ended questions. Your responses are confidential; they will only be used for statistical data analysis for our work.

Thank you for your help and the time you dedicate.
