Why is it important to talk about bilingualism and multilingualism?
François Grosjean, one of the leading experts in this field of research, once said that children with their two or more developing languages are at the mercy of the ideas and preconceived notions that adults have about their development.
As parents, educators, and professionals, it is our responsibility to educate ourselves on the subject and make decisions based on scientific research.
Only in this way can we offer children the opportunity to become global citizens: open-minded, respectful, and empathetic individuals.
There are many ways to raise children with more than one language, so they can see diversity as a strength, not a problem.
