Worldviews and values are connected to well-being and resilience, but little is known about how these interact in the lives of young children. Existential resilience is constructed through having a meaningful view of the world and one’s place in it. It is shaped by the values and worldviews individuals develop from an early age through their experiences and interactions and is particularly important for maintaining well-being during challenging life situations. Global challenges cause anxiety in children too, so it is essential to explore what is crucial in supporting their existential resilience. This study investigates what young children value in life from their own perspective, in the context of Finnish early childhood education and care (ECEC) and worldview education. The findings highlight the significance of social relationships for fostering a sense of meaningful existence and reveal that children’s need for connection is fundamental to their experience of life. The data also bring out the secularisation of children’s existential thinking, where religion is not explicitly present. This study contributes to previous literature by illustrating how social relationships and shared values build existential resilience in children while also offering insights into digital storytelling as a means of capturing children’s voices in ECEC settings.
