This skill will also enhance your child’s attentiveness and short-term memory, and help to provide them with greater opportunities in the future.
Infants exposed to dual languages can sometimes take longer to learn to speak, but extensive studies done have found that lifelong exposure to bilingual environments create extensive competitive advantages – greater creativity, lateral thinking, and the ability to focus deeply – and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. That said, it’s never too late to start. Many children have come to us at ages 6-10 knowing zero Spanish, and have not only caught up… but excelled!
