Many children around the world and in the United States grow up in homes where more than one language is spoken. Parents often desire to raise bilingual children. Being bilingual can help children maintain connections to their cultural backgrounds, open professional opportunities, and even have some cognitive advantages! Parents sometimes worry that speaking their home language can negatively impact their child’s language development. Additionally, parents often worry that speaking the home language instead of English will cause their children to struggle in school. Many research studies show that children can learn multiple languages at once and that building a strong foundation in the home language actually supports children’s English learning!
