Being multilingual—speaking more than one language—is a wonderful gift for children and families. It helps children connect with their culture, talk with family members, and understand the world in different ways.
Learning more than one language can support brain development, boost confidence, and improve communication skills. Parents play a key role by speaking their home language with pride, sharing stories, songs, and conversations every day.
Growing up multilingual helps children feel proud of who they are and gives them a strong foundation for learning and friendships.
