How Rohingya refugee parents support children's prosocial development in crisis-affected and resettlement contexts: Findings from India and Canada.

This article focuses on how Rohingya refugee parents promote prosocial development—behaviours such as helping, sharing, and comforting—in their children amid humanitarian crises. Through qualitative interviews with 104 Rohingya caregivers living in a refugee settlement in India and resettled in Canada, the study identifies three main themes: parents' prosocial values and beliefs rooted in religious and cultural norms; the influence of environmental conditions on parenting capacities, with stark contrasts between insecure camp settings and resource-rich resettlement contexts; and specific socialization and protection practices parents use to nurture prosocial behaviours. Findings highlight that despite adversity, parents employ warm, communicative approaches to foster prosociality, while also adapting protective strategies in high-risk environments. The study underscores the importance of culturally and contextually responsive interventions that build on parental strengths and address structural challenges to support child prosocial development in displacement settings.
