After our last episode on bilingualism myths, we received many parent questions — so we’re answering them in two big themes:

What we cover

• How to help your child keep the minority language to stay connected with grandparents and family abroad

• The “magic formula” for minority language: purpose, culture/people, emotion

• What to do when a child refuses to speak the minority language (passive bilingualism)

• How to create language habits without pressure (bedtime routines, songs, role play, interests-led play)

• Common speech & language topics seen in children (e.g., developmental language disorder, speech sound disorders, stuttering, childhood apraxia of speech)

• Late talker vs. red flags: what parents can watch for

• Milestones parents often ask about
