In my present research, I take a cultural-historical approach to exploring interactional processes of emotion guiding and learning in everyday activities in early childhood education and care (ECEC). The study focuses on 0–2-year-old children who have just started ECEC. The specific form of ECEC in Finland, flexibly scheduled ECEC, serves as the study context.
