Refugee and asylum-seeking children

I have found two TeachersTV videos regarding Refugee and asylum-seeking children.  I thought I'd blog them as they may be of some use for insight into the challenges they face, for Rachel's presentation / Assignment.

(Hope these help you Leanne)

The first video shows some of what schools can do to help Refugee children that have just arrived, with the challenges they face.   

Secondly this video shows the moving life stories of Refugee children.

Childhood and Ethnicity

Journal articles I have found for ethnicity: 

Brown, C., (2011), Ethnicity and Gender in Late Childhood and Early Adolescence - Group Identity and Awareness of Bias, Developmental Psychology, 47(2), pp. 463-471.

Gibson-Davis, CM., Gassman-Pines, A., (2010), Early Childhood Family Structure and Mother–Child Interactions - Variation by Race and Ethnicity, Developmental Psychology, 46(1), pp. 151-164.

Radey, M., Brewster, KL., (2007), The influence of race/ethnicity on disadvantaged mothers’ child care arrangements, Early Childhood Research Quarterly, 22(3), pp. 379-393.

Now a website I have found: http://www.open2.net/healtheducation/family_childdevelopment/2005/ethnicity.html that gives some clear information about children and ethnicity :)

Lastly I have found a sociology research paper that's quite interesting it's not directly about childhood and ethnicity but more generally about ethnicity and social class in society, it's worth a quick practice of our new speedy reading techniques :)
