The study employs a combination of qualitative interviews, observational techniques and quantitative measures to comprehensively explore the multifaceted aspects of children’s lifeworlds. Findings Our findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge in childhood studies and inform the design of more responsive and contextually relevant interventions for the well-being of children in various settings. Research limitations/implications No research limitations or implications were evident in this research. Originality/value This article has demonstrated an innovative approach to investigate children’s lifeworlds through integrating qualitative interviews, observation methods and qualitative measures.
