52) It's Never Too Late to Be Multilingual - with Eowyn from On Raising Bilingual Children

Raising multilingual children is no easy feat. The myths about language delay or assimilation pressures can often make parents question their decisions. But Eowyn is back to remind us why it’s so important to nurture our children's ability to understand their parents' backgrounds, customs, and cultures. Not only does multilingualism help children connect with family in the homelands, but it also opens up a world of opportunity and understanding.

In this episode, Eowyn shares simple yet effective strategies for raising multilingual kids. Yes, it's hard work, but every step of the way is worth it. If you’ve been struggling to keep your home language strong or feeling disheartened, this episode is here to encourage and remind you that the research is clear—multilingualism is incredibly beneficial.

This is the perfect follow-up to our earlier episodes (25 and 30), providing a supportive voice for all the international families out there. If you’re feeling the pressure, know that you’re not alone. We see you, we are you, and together, we’ll keep pushing forward on this multilingual journey.

Key Takeaways:

  • The benefits of raising multilingual children

  • Simple strategies to implement language learning at home

  • The importance of cultural connection and family communication

  • Encouragement for parents who are finding the journey challenging
