Abstract
As a result of the dynamic family migration occurring on a global scale, an increasing number of children currently migrate to various countries. While some studies on migrant children recently started to shed light on their subjectivities and agencies (for example, Gardner, 2012; Knörr, 2005; Ní Laoire, Carpena-Méndez, Tyrrell, & White, 2011; Veale & Donà, 2014), capturing their increasingly diversified experiences remains a challenge for migration scholars.
