The article presents contemporary views on a new approach to children studies in social sciences and humanities, and particularly the “whole child approach” paradigm. The basic features of this approach are discussed in the context of integrating children from a migration background and their social functioning within the structure of education. A brief discussion on the necessary structural changes in social life and its adjustment to the needs of children is provided. The whole child approach is promoted as a key element of social cohesion strategies.
