How immigrant children feel

2025/9/15 Edited to

... Read more移民の子供として異文化の環境で育つ経験は、多くの場合特有の葛藤や困難を伴います。私自身も移民の子供として、親の故郷とは異なる文化と言語の中で成長してきました。例えば、職場や学校での多様性は社会の強みですが、同時に誤解や偏見による排除感を感じることもあります。これらの感情は、単に新しい環境への適応課題だけでなく、自分のアイデンティティの揺れや自尊心にも影響を与えます。 TEDトークで指摘されているように、私たちが持つ移民に対する先入観は誤りであることが多く、特に政策や教育、宗教の問題が誤解を深めることがあります。実際、多くの移民の子供たちは、多文化の良さを活かしながら、言語面や社会的な壁を乗り越えていく努力をしています。私の場合も、英語学習に注力しながら自分のルーツを大切にすることで、二つの文化のバランスを取ろうと心掛けています。 また、アフリカをはじめとする多様な背景を持つ子供たちが直面する特別な問題もあります。これらは誤解や偏見と結びつきやすく、教育や社会政策のあり方を見直す必要があると感じています。移民の子供の気持ちに寄り添い、多様な環境での職場や学校での受け入れ方を見直すことは、平和な共生社会を築く上でも重要です。 このように、私の体験を通じて言えることは、移民の子供たちの感じる孤独や葛藤は決して個人の問題ではなく、社会全体で共有し解決すべきテーマであるということです。多様性を尊重し、先入観を排除した理解を深めることが、私たちの未来に繋がる道だと信じています。

“Children who regularly talk with their parents…
Kids don’t always know how to say what they feel — but they’ll show you in drawings, questions, and silly answers. The Side by Side journal helps spark those moments of connection. One shared prompt. Two perspectives. A habit that grows with them — and keeps the door open as they get older.
