Why is it important?
It provides some perspective for educators, policy makers and researchers to understand many different ways that marginalization and/or acceptance happen for migrant, refugee, and asylum seeker children.
Perspectives
Many scholars, policy makers, and practitioners who are concerned with "countering violent extremism" neglect to consider the normal developmental pathways that influence children and adolescents' need for belonging and acceptance. When we interact with children who are already marginalized we need to consider how the systems we develop can either help them feel accepted or further marginalized.
