ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on how to respond to the impact of forced displacement on children’s psychosocial wellbeing. The phenomenon of migration is presented as a process where children face an accumulating number of difficulties that do not end once they reach the country where their families seek asylum. In this chapter, I suggest the concept of “Recovering lost play time” is both the heart of the issue for children and the response that child professionals can apply in a variety of highly vulnerable situations.
