One in four children around the world live in a conflict or disaster zone and crises can last for 10 - 20 years. Refugee situations globally have become protracted with more children born to refugee parents spending their childhood, and sometimes their whole lives outside their country of origin. Only about 3% of humanitarian crisis funding goes toward education and a fraction of that to early childhood needs, parenting skills and protective factors. The challenges refugees face before, during, and after being displaced have serious consequences for families. Displacement often occurs multiple times and includes tremendous daily uncertainty. When and if families resettle, the process of adapting to new cultures requires and fosters remarkable resilience and navigational skills. This chapter tells the stories of how parents navigate challenging circumstances in three contexts: refugees within their own country, refugee camps outside of their country, and refugees who have resettled in a host country.
