β¦ Synopsis
Five groups of Greek migrant children 8-10 years old, living with or without their parents in Greece and Germany, were compared to a control group on: a) A behavioural questionnaire concerning child's behaviour on different spheres of life and b) A parents/caretakers' attitudes questionnaire concerning child's behaviour.
Results showed that the most high risk children according to their parents/ caretakers judgement are those who have recently moved to join their parents in Germany followed by the children who have always lived in Germany with their parents. Children who have recently moved to Greece with or without their parents appear to have less difficulties across the same variables.
Results from the attitudes questionnaire showed that problems identified in children of the return group seem to be connected with parental attitudes which is not the case for the other groups. Within this context a framework for counselling is proposed.
