What if my child switches between languages?

Today’s Frequently Asked Question is from a listener: What if my child switches between langauges?

I’m back with another Frequently Asked Questions episode – a quick, bite-sized episode focusing on one frequently asked question about language acquisition, Montessori language development principles, or multilingualism. I alternate these episodes with the longer-form interviews parents, educators and experts in their fields on topics relating to Montessori and multilingualism that you’re already familiar with.

If you have a question about anything related to Montessori and multilingualism that you’d like me to answer on one of these episodes, you can send me a message on ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠email me⁠⁠⁠. You can also submit a ⁠⁠⁠voice message⁠⁠⁠, and you might hear your voice on a future episode!
