S2E5 How to Help Your Child Adjust to a Language Immersion Setting
Bilingual Parenting Podcast
Going into a language immersion setting for the first time can be overwhelming for a child, especially older children, and understandably so! As adults we can totally identify with this. However, unlike adults, children can adapt to an immersion setting rather quickly as their language learning skills are still extremely sharp. We of course want our young kids to take advantage of those sharp language skills by gaining exposure to a language as early as possible. So perhaps that’s where you find yourself now; you’ve enrolled your child in a language immersion program, (maybe ) but...

S2E2 - Fact or Fiction: Three Common Bilingualism Myths
Bilingual Parenting Podcast
In this episode we talk in depth about three common myths about bilingualism and bilingual kids. Is there any truth to these myths, or are they big and bad and need to STOP being spread?
info_outlineThis is the first episode of a series of Bilingual Parenting Strategy episodes. Later on we will have an entire episode dedicated to exploring the concept of family language policy (FLP), but wanted to first dive right in to OPOL, One Parent One Language households. Each of these FLP episodes will be broken down like this: strategy description, major benefits, potential obstacles with ways to combat them, and then discuss modified versions of the strategy.
If you are a family that employs OPOL at home, we'd love to hear from you! Visit us at www.bilinguitos.com and join our Bilingual Parenting Network group on Facebook here!
