Raising bilingual kids is a complex, challenging undertaking. Of course, if there is one thing being a parent teaches you, it is that you can do more than you ever thought possible. You can go on less sleep, remember more details and be more patient than you had ever imagined. And, if you are raising kids with two languages, you do it all while thinking continuously about what they are learning.
You are indeed a super hero!
Tap into these superhero qualities as you fight monolingualism, one small person at a time!

This is great. I have dual language children at nursery and their potential for bilingualism is immense, but sometimes the parents cave under the stress of language. So this reinforcement and affirmation is great and accessible for them reflect on their immense worth.

I became bilingual as a teenager. I also studied a third language when I was a young adult. My daughters have been bilingual since little. Now, in high school, they are learning their third language. As a bilingual teacher, I have seen many parents rejecting the idea of giving the opportunity to their kids to become bilingual at school. They may think that they will teach them at home enough of their native language. I always have tried to convince them that a world of opportunities will arrive to them if they become bilingual since little. They will learn to read and write in both languages, opening also, a huge range of opportunities to learn even more.
