Two languages won't confuse your child

Speaking your home language is a gift, not a delay.

Many parents worry that two languages will slow their child down. Research says no.

ASHA explains that bilingual kids reach milestones on a similar timeline. They may mix words from both languages. That's normal.

Use the language you're most comfortable in. Rich talk in any language builds the same foundation.

Try this: Read and sing in your home language. Count total words across both languages.
