Description
Raising your child bilingually can be a valuable experience for their future. However, parents often require guidance on how to proceed. This practical guide provides reassurance and information to help you make informed decisions about raising your child with two or more languages. Using a question-and-answer format, the book addresses common concerns and questions that parents may have when it comes to bilingualism. It dispels myths and shows that a child can acquire multiple 'first' languages simultaneously without negative effects on one another. Each chapter is dedicated to a specific topic, providing concise answers, summaries of evidence, and practical tips. By reading this guide, you will gain a better understanding of how to support your child's language development and create a positive bilingual environment.
