There are many benefits and challenges for parents raising bilingual children. I grew up speaking Spanish at home and English at school. We hated speaking Spanish. To us it was simply a way of communicating with our family. It wasn't until years later that I truly appreciated the effort my parents put forth making sure we were able to speak, read, and write Español. Fast forward many years and a toddler later, I too am doing my very best to raise a bilingual daughter. I wanted to share with you my findings and my personal experiences.
