As international migration increases, migration-associated challenges to parenting arise. In the context of migration, supportive parenting can help buffer against the negative effects that migration-related stresses can bring to children, particularly in the face of the often traumatic events driving instances of forced migration. The provision of adequate child supervision is an important part of this supportive parenting and more research is required into how migration influences its practice. In Article 1, we examine child supervision practices in migration to Montreal, Canada, from the perspectives of children (n=25) and caregivers (n=19) through focus groups and look at differences in caregiving before and after migration. Results show that migrant caregivers often equip their children to caregive and that this and cultural differences in caregiving practices are often poorly understood by host country community members as well as child and youth protection professionals. They also show that children and adult caregivers at times have different views on the role of child caregiving in migration and that lack of social support in the host country influences child supervision practices. Article 2 looks at how child supervision practices evolve across the different stages of refugee migration, according to semi-structured interviews with 20 Syrian refugee mothers who resettled in Montreal and Laval, Canada, since 2015. Findings reveal the multiple protective benefits of child supervision throughout refugee migration, some of the challenges to providing adequate child supervision, the way mothers prioritized providing this supervision, and how some mothers described supervision as being associated with their maintenance of maternal authority. Mothers also shared ways in which they used supervision to promote their children's wellbeing. In both studies, overall results suggest that both culture of origin and families' migration trajectories and their related adversity, including war and discrimination, should be considered when assessing child supervision in migrant families or developing parental support programs. These and other implications of findings for research and practice are discussed, such as the importance of considering pre-resettlement migratory experiences in developing parental support programs and responding to cases of alleged child maltreatment with cultural sensitivity.

520 $a Alors que la migration internationale augmente, les difficultes liees a la migration pour le role parental se manifestent egalement. Dans le contexte migratoire, avoir des parents qui soutiennent bien leurs enfants peut aider a proteger ces enfants des effets negatifs du stress lie a la migration, et notamment quant aux evenements souvent traumatisants a l'origine des migrations forcees. La surveillance adequate des enfants est un element important de ce soutien parental et davantage de recherches sont necessaires pour determiner comment la migration influence sa pratique. Dans le premier article, nous etudions les pratiques de surveillance des enfants dans le contexte de la migration a Montreal, au Canada, et ce, du point de vue des enfants (n = 25), des parents et des tuteurs (n = 19) a travers des groupes de discussion. Nous analysons les differences dans la prestation de soins avant et apres la migration. Les resultats montrent que les parents et les tuteurs migrants preparent souvent leurs enfants a prendre soin des autres enfants, et que ce phenomene, ainsi que des differences culturelles dans les pratiques de soins des enfants, est souvent mal compris par les membres de la communaute du pays d'accueil et les professionnels de la protection de l'enfance et de la jeunesse. Nos resultats revelent egalement que les enfants et les parents ou tuteurs adultes ont parfois des points de vue differents sur le role de la garde des enfants dans le contexte de la migration, et qu'un manque de soutien social dans le pays d'accueil influence les pratiques de surveillance des enfants. Le deuxieme article examine comment les pratiques de surveillance des enfants evoluent a travers les differentes etapes de la migration des refugies, selon des entretiens semi-structures avec 20 meres refugiees syriennes qui se sont reinstallees a Montreal et a Laval, Canada, depuis 2015. Les resultats revelent les multiples avantages protecteurs de la surveillance des enfants tout au long de la migration des refugies, certains defis poses par la fourniture d'une supervision adequate des enfants, la maniere dont les meres accordent la priorite a cette supervision et la maniere dont certaines meres decrivent la supervision comme etant associee au maintien de leur autorite maternelle. Les meres ont egalement explique comment elles utilisaient la supervision pour promouvoir le bien-etre de leurs enfants. Dans les deux etudes, les resultats globaux suggerent que la culture d'origine, les trajectoires migratoires des familles et l'adversite associee, y compris la guerre et la discrimination, devraient etre prises en compte lors de l'evaluation de la surveillance des enfants dans les familles de migrants et dans l'elaboration de programmes de soutien parental. Les consequences de ces resultats pour la recherche et la pratique sont discutees, telles que l'importance de prendre en compte les experiences migratoires pre-reinstallation dans l'elaboration de programmes de soutien parental et l'importance de repondre aux cas de maltraitance presumee d'enfants avec une sensibilite culturelle.
