Family Resource Book Page 12 MAAC Child Development Program PY 2024-2025The Gift of Languagee Gift of LanguageFor FamiliesLanguage is one of the most important gifts you give your child. But how do you give it?e answer is simple.Speak your language with your child at home every day! Why is home language important?e language you speak with your children is the rst language they will learn. It is their rst connection to you, to the rest of their family, and to their culture and community. It is the language they rst use to learn about the world around them. It is the language that helps them get “set for life”—and you are a central part of that process! is is one of the many ways parents are their children’s rst teachers. What are the benets of using your home language?Using your home language connects your children to your family. It also provides a connection to your important cultural traditions, and to friends and neighbors who speak the same language. Using your home language allows you to teach your children, and to learn new things together. You can talk about new experiences and words; you can practice letters and numbers. All of these things are an important part of your children’s early learning—and it will be easier and more fun for you if you do it in your most comfortable language. But what about English?Children living in the United States need English to succeed in school and in life. Fortunately, young children can easily become bilingual. A person who speaks more than one language well has more opportunities to study, travel, and work—both in the United States and around the world. Being bilingual also helps children build stronger thinking skills. If I speak some English, should I use it at home?You should speak the language you are most comfortable using. If your home language is stronger than your English, then you should use your home language with your children to build strong language skills. 1
MAAC Child Development Program PY 2024-2025 Page 13 Family Resource BookThe Gift of Language ContinuedThe Gift of Language for Families2 Will my children get confused using two languages?Young children can learn two or more languages at the same time. ey learn quickly when they have lots of experiences with adults who speak with and listen to them.Sometimes children will combine words or phrases from both languages. at’s OK! It may sound as though they are confused, but they are actually learning the rules and vocabulary from both languages and sorting them out in their brains. It is a sign of good learning and thinking. My children prefer to speak English. What should I do?First, don’t worry. Maybe your children prefer English because that is what all of their friends are speaking. Talk with your children about language. Explain that learning both languages is important. Talk about the special people in their lives who speak your language, including favorite relatives and friends. Explain that people who are bilingual have twice as many chances to make friends and learn about new cultures.Make your home language fun by reading books, singing songs, and playing games in it; and use it when you’re involved in any kind of activity. Your language is a gift, and speaking it keeps your family connected!Remember that your relationship with your children depends on language. As they get older, communication will become increasingly more important. You will have conversations about a wide variety of topics. is will be easier and more fun for both of you if you are speaking the same language. What can I do at home? Tell stories and read to your children in your home language. Share rhymes, chants, songs, and poems you learned as a child. Look for fun activities happening in your language, such as story time at your local library, festivals, and cultural events. Look for bilingual books, wordless books, or books in your home language at the library. Some Stories About Bilingual Families ¡Gaby está aquí!
