Migration is a critical issue for child development in the 21st century. We expand on García Coll et al.'s (1996) integrative model of minority child development by drawing from principles of attachment theory and interpersonal relationships research to offer new insights into how youth manage and respond to migration experiences. Immigrant and refugee youth should experience better outcomes to the extent that they (a) maintain strong relationships with caregivers and peers who provide a sense of closeness, safety, and confidence during the process of adjusting to this life transition and (b) find ways to establish a sense of connection and belonging to the new people, places, communities, and social networks within which they now live. Strong bonds to people and connection to places (both familiar and new) can counter the social stratification consequences to minority youth development that are well articulated in García Coll et al.'s integrative model. The need for new and better strategies that promote the positive development of immigrant and refugee youth within their families, schools, workplaces, and communities is crucial, not only for individuals and families but for society as a whole.

迁移是 21 世纪儿童发展的一个关键问题。我们借鉴依恋理论和人际关系研究的原则，对加西亚·科勒等人（1996 年）的少数民族儿童发展综合模型进行了扩展，从而为青年如何管理和应对迁移经历提供了新的见解。移民和难民青年的情况应该会更好，在适应这一生活转变的过程中，（a）与照顾者和同龄人保持牢固的关系，这些人提供亲近感、安全感和信心；（b）找到与新的人、新的地方、新的社区和他们现在生活的新社交网络建立联系和归属感的方式。与人和地方的牢固联系（熟悉和新的）可以抵消加西亚·科勒等人综合模型中清楚阐述的少数族裔青年发展的社会分层后果。需要新的和更好的策略，以促进移民和难民青年在家庭、学校、工作场所和社区中的积极发展，这不仅对个人和家庭至关重要，对整个社会也至关重要。
