How do you support a bilingual child? How can you support bilingualism from day one?
On this episode of the Learn With Less® podcast, we sat down with Diandra Morse, of Bilingual Playdate and Daring Hearts Counseling. Diandra is a licensed clinical social worker in New York State and a mother of two bilingual children. She supports families exploring bilingual parenting, and shares activities, resources, fun ideas, and methods for raising a bilingual child.
We discussed:
* Diandra’s professional and personal background that brought her to the work she’s doing today* The values Diandra feels she is instilling when she thinks about why she’s raising her children to be bilingual* What parts of Diandra’s identity are important for her to share with her children through language* How Diandra’s work as a social worker plays a role in her ability to be culturally responsive in supporting families in multiple ways (both in Spanish and English)* What’s working well in Diandra’s own journey of raising bilingual children, and what parts are more challenging* A few of Diandra’s favorite resources for families hoping to share bilingualism or multilingualism with their families
