Satellite babies (also called Satellite children) refer to immigrants’ children who are temporarily sent back to their home country by their parents to be reared by extended family.[1] Typically, the satellite babies are born in the host country and sent back as infants, returning to their parents in time to start schooling or when their parents have established financial stability.[1][2] Research and media articles on satellite babies have predominantly focused on the topic from a Chinese-American context.[1][2][3][4][5] Satellite babies have become more prevalent in recent decades due to globalisation,[2] prompting researchers and social workers to raise concerns about the psychological impacts of repeated attachment disruptions and acculturation associated with satellite babies.[6]
