    605-The Secret to Helping Your Child Love Learning Spanish

    Did you know that one of the keys to raising bilingual Spanish-speaking kids is to create a strong positive connection to the language? When I wrote Nobody Told Me This About Raising a Bilingual Child in the spring of 2023, I wanted to address the real, often overlooked challenges of bilingual parenting that I experienced raising my trilingual daughter. While many resources focus on the science behind bilingualism, few address the emotional journey—especially the importance of connecting language learning to positive, meaningful experiences. In today’s episode, I’ll be reading a passage from page 43 of my book titled: "Nobody Told Me the Importance of Creating a Positive Emotional Connection to the Language for My Child." I’ll also share five actionable tips to help you make language learning fun, impactful, and memorable. These tips will empower you to foster a deep and joyful connection between your child and the Spanish language, enriching their bilingual journey and your family’s cultural heritage.
