The focus of this study is children´s influence and participation. This is an important part of preschool, according to the Swedish curriculum (Skolverket, 2010). Hoping to see another perspective of working with children´s influence and participation, my study took place in Nepal. The method used for this study is qualitative interviews. The interviews are made with teachers with insight in preschools in Nepal. The aim of my study is to find knowledge about these teachers' view regarding children´s influence and participation. I also wanted to find out more about their work with children´s influence and the teachers' perspectives on preconditions of this work. The result of this study shows that influence in preschool is important, according to the teachers. These teachers' view on children´s influence is about seeing and listening to the children and invite their ideas. My study has also made it visible that the main thing of these teachers' work with children´s influence is to let the children choose activities for them selves. The result also describe different preconditions which can affect the teachers' work with children´s influence. One example is teachers' approach which seems to be an important consideration for children´s possibilities to influence and participation.
