Today’s increasingly digital and globalized world is creating opportunities for families to live and thrive in different cultures. As you settle into new places, it can be challenging to determine how to weave your culture and language into your child’s life. But don’t stop trying—it’s one of the greatest gifts you can give. Sharing your culture, passions, and language while exposing them to new ones will have a lifelong impact.The benefits of being multilingual are remarkable, offering learners a competitive edge and opening doors to endless possibilities. Here are three ways multilingualism can shape your child’s future:
