102: Q&A - Language barriers between families

01/05/16 • 18 min

On this episode of Bilingual Avenue, I answer a question from a mother who feels that a language barrier is forming between her and her daughter. She speaks the minority language with her daughter and she worries that her 3 year old's lack of fluency is creating a distance between them. I share my thoughts on how at the end of the day what our children really need is parenting. Language is just one of the many aspects of parenting.
