“…They were different in a number of respects from earlier waves of immigrants (Pew Research Center 2015a, b). In her review of research on the adaptation of young children and adolescents to the process of immigration, Stodolska (2008) makes clear that much is yet to be determined regarding the interplay of personal and environmental factors connected to healthy adjustment. She specifically identifies proximate environmental factors (such as the home environment) as keys to adjustment success.…”

Adolescent well-being depends on the quality of their experiences at home. Data from the New Immigrant Survey were used to describe the home environments of 982 children ages 10-17 whose parents legally immigrated to the United States. Thirty-four indicators of home conditions were clustered into 5 domains: (1) discipline and socio-emotional support, (2) learning materials, (3) enriching experiences, (4) family activities, and (5) expectations. Results revealed variation in how frequently adolescents experienced each home environmental condition. As expected, there were differences in the likelihood an adolescent would have most-but not all-experiences connected with home life based on parents' level of education. The home experiences documented for children of recent legal immigrants were similar to those documented for children of native-born families in other studies.

In this article, we draw on a 2012 Montreal-based study that examined the embodied, every day practices of immigrant children and families in the context of urban greenspaces such as parks, fields, backyards, streetscapes, gardens, forests and rivers. Results suggest that activities in the natural environment serve as a protective factor in the health and well-being of this population, providing emotional and physical nourishment in the face of adversity. Using the Social Determinants of Health model adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO, 1998), we analyze how participants accessed urban nature to minimize the effects of inadequate housing, to strengthen social cohesion and reduce emotional stress. We conclude with a discussion supporting the inclusion of the natural environment in the Social Determinants of Health Model.

“…In the literature, it is seen that the biggest problem experienced by migrants is their living conditions and adaptation problems. Based on both living conditions and adaptation problems, it is stated that family communication and school life of children are affected (Chuang & Gielen, 2009;Browne et al, 2017;Davies & McKelvey, 1998;Stodolska, 2008). In the US Social Studies Grade 1 textbook , when we look at the subject matter related to immigrants and im migrants, it is seen that first of all, migration and immigrant are given.…”
