I love that the author is a Montessori teacher!
I love that the author is a Montessori teacher! It truly adds value and authority to the content! Parenting multilingual learners cannot only be tough, but also feel like you’re alone. This book does a great job of not only educating you but also identifying with you. It’s well written and worth the read!

Very informative and helpful
If you’re in a multi-lingual household, this book is a must have. It has everything you need to properly parent your multilingual children while still making it fun, naturally interactive and not like a “chore” for them to learn all of your culture and languages. The book was well written and backed by vast research, comes with lots of practical suggestions that you can either use right away or in the future. Highly recommend!

Must Buy for Parents, Grandparents and Caregivers promoting bi-lingual learning
My son speaks English only and has just married a Brazilian who speaks fluent Portugese, Spanish and English. I want to support their children’s multi lingual learning and I thought this book would help. It does! It has lots of information I will be able to use (such as Media and tech tips, using music and games and incorporating multi-language seamlessly into their environments). I am definitately gonna get a copy for them as well.

Helpful resource for parents of multilingual children
This book is about the importance of creating a language-rich environment and thus empowering parents, caregivers, and educators to raise confident, globally-minded children. The benefits of multilingualism extend far beyond mere language proficiency, such as flexibility, better problem-solving skills, and greater empathy. The author states that multilingual children often exhibit improved communication abilities and a broader understanding of different cultures.The book is well structured, starting with the foundation of multilingual parenting and then moving on to navigating the educational system and how to engage the family and community in nurturing multilingualism.There are several reflection exercises in the book: Journaling Prompts, Self-Assessment Journals, Setting Goals and Time Management, etc.; I really like the interactive element of creating a family language plan, when everyone in the family can practice the language with interactive activities such as cooking recipes from different cultures or watching movies.The writing style was formal and not quite engaging, unfortunately. The book would have benefited from a key chapter takeaway at the end and more bullet points and concrete, specific ideas.My opinions are my own.

A great read for any parent trying to raise bilingual or multilingual children!
I really enjoyed this book! It gave me so much clarity about raising kids with more than one language. The tips are easy to follow, and I loved that it talks about real-life situations, like when kids mix languages or lose interest. It also makes you think more about how to keep your culture alive at home. Itâs not too technical, just supportive and really informative.
