Shaping good habits and manners is one of the most important goals, as well as developmental tasks, in early childhood. Although it has been said that discipline in the home is vital to children's education, Japanese parents, in recent years, are busy with their daily work, and their children's upbringing is left almost entirely to early childhood caregivers and teachers. Consequently, caregivers and teachers have some to take weighty responsibility and to have an important influence upon the children's living. Young children's daily living is most effectively shaped by their "significant others". Therefore, teacher-child relationship quality should be given special consideration.
