Abstract: Abstract Subjective well-being is important for young children to be successful and happy now and in the future. Studies on the subjective well-being of young children are relatively few. Subjective well-being includes different factors such as family, school, friends, positive life experiences. Different from other age groups, subjective well-being factors differ in younger age groups (3–6 years). This study aims to develop a subjective well-being scale in line with what young children care about. The subjective well-being scale in this study consists of three dimensions: Positive Relationships with Others, Life Standard, and Life Satisfaction. The subjective well-being scale for young children is a semi-structured, self-reported, and designed for all daily living environments, regardless of a single environment. Subjective well-being scale shows good psychometric properties. By discussing the dimensions, the factors that are important in the subjective well-being of young children are revealed.
