25) Raising Bilingual Children in the Netherlands: Expert Strategies with Eowyn Crisfield

Raising kids in a foreign country is a juggle, but keeping your home language alive shouldn't feel like a losing battle. In this episode of Dam Parenting, Eva and Maren sit down with Eowyn Crisfield to strip away the myths of language acquisition.

Being an international parent in the Netherlands often means navigating a sea of Dutch, English, and your native tongue. Eowyn offers a warm, honest look at why the "home language" is your child’s greatest superpower and how to protect it. We move past the "wait and see" approach and dive into practical, direct strategies for crafting a family language plan that actually works. Whether you’re worried about "speech delays" or just want your kids to connect with their grandparents back home, this conversation provides the roadmap you need to raise confident, multilingual global citizens.


Tune in to explore the enriching landscape of raising bilingual children, where every word spoken opens doors to endless opportunities and profound connections.


Be sure to share with your international families
