Top 10 Myths About Second Language Learning for Kids | Raising Bilingual Kids Series

Despite the benefits of raising children in two languages, there are still many myths surrounding it. This is where we come in! We're here to unravel some of the common misconceptions about raising your children bilingual.

Many people think that bilingual children will deal with delays in both their speech and literacy - in fact, the opposite is true. Being bilingual tends to help children improve their literacy, increase their concentration, and fine-tune their executive functioning skills—the part of their brain that helps to control attention span, flexible cognizance, literacy, and more. Further, bilingual children are thought to have a denser grey matter, too which, overall, helps them process language, boost their attention span, and even store memory more efficiently—all of these things directly contribute to speech, literacy, and cognitive function.
