Learning two languages & speech delay in kids

👉🏼Does learning 2 or more languages cause speech delay?
.
.
🦋 Some people have a wrong notion that raising a child in a house where more than one language is spoken puts them at risk for language/ speech delay.
🦋 Some people even believe that there is a “silent period” when the kid exposed to more than one language might not speak at all.
🦋 Exposing your child to 2 or more languages DOES NOT CAUSE speech/language delays.
🦋It’s not a cause although, speech delays can occur in bilingual kids.
🦋Parents who speak more than one language should not just think that speaking one language will be a quick fix to the child’s speech delay.
🦋Children who are brought up in bilingual homes can learn 2 languages at the same pace as kids who are learning only one language.
🇮🇳 India is a land of multiple languages and most homes are bilingual/multilingual.
