Is your Toddler multilingual?
So this is a huge subject for our family as Dimitris our son is half Greek/half English.
It is also a worry as I see him progressing well with so much, yet falling behind in his language skills ..... Or is he?He seems to always want to communicate in English, maybe as he is with me so often.
He seems to understand Greek and he attends Greek nursery where I hope I will see him become more confident speaking Greek.
Maybe he is just being stubborn! He knows that he gets a response everytime when he speaks English... so why speak Greek??? Right??
We have tried to many things, like tell our Greek family only to speak Greek to him... including my husband (but that never works!)
And for me never to speak Greek to him.... just because I am terrible! That would never help him.
So I found an article today from BBC News about a Toddler Brain that had been scanned showing how easy it is for a toddler to learn another language.
It is very interesting, especially if your child is living in a multilingual home
Have a read
