You can just create stuff. Books, songs, crafts, drawings, paintings, articles, games, videos, sculptures, buildings... Heck, even new humans.

[Raising Healthy Families @thriving__kids]

The average parents spends about 37 mins of intentional time with their kids each day

But spends an average of 6.5hrs a day on a screen

This sends a message to kids that screens are more important than they are

And no kid should feel this way

Parents, dont let screens distract you from whats really important

Kids deserve our best

"The biggest obstacle to learning a language is already knowing one" - random comment on a YouTube video. Is it accurate? Yes and no. It explains why children pick up languages so quickly. But as an adult, the more language knowledge you have the more you can leverage it.

@CedraCrenshaw Which Bible do you use and is it on Audible?

Learning a language with your kids? You're in good company! Prince William and Princess Kate are learning Welsh alongside Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis ❤️https://t.co/i5heO0c5Mn

English is now the official language of the United States 🇺🇲

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

It's official.

Is it ever too early to become multilingual? I don't think so. https://t.co/tPMrxWgGxu

@readtoyourkid Unpopular opinion: guessing context is an important language skill - especially if one is to pursue languages beyond English. Children also need to learn how to read. Both can be true.

@l4courtney @readtoyourkid I just found this on Amazon - it is so expensive!! How do they justify the price?

@readtoyourkid @ymmugiwik Hey Hannah, do you have resources you would recommend for Spanish?

[Les Petites Polyglottes @les_polyglottes]

@ymmugiwik @readtoyourkid Do you have any resources you would recommend for Chinese?

@edfreeuk Parenting advice aside, I find it interesting that she acknowledges that teachers in the school setting do not have the time or bandwidth to actually teach children. This is important given what is going on in the UK regarding elective home education.

[Les Petites Polyglottes @les_polyglottes]

This article says the quiet part out loud. Even in a school setting, the successful students are the ones who are educated at home by their parents...

@conortrains To begin with, I would recommend:

Learn Mandarin Chinese with Paul Noble for Beginners – Complete Course: Mandarin Chinese Made Easy with Your Personal Language Coach

You can find it on Audible ✨️

[Les Petites Polyglottes @les_polyglottes]

@conortrains In that case, starting with an audio-only program might be the way to go. Then, if you want to do writing, you could do a radicals first approach later. I am doing something similar at the moment.

[Les Petites Polyglottes @les_polyglottes]

@Dirtdragonmom I am all for intuitive parenting. That being said, I do think maybe a short checklist for parents who are not sure if their child is ready to read or not would be helpful.

[Les Petites Polyglottes @les_polyglottes]

...and if you want your child to speak another language, you have to show that you value language learning as a parent

[Raising Healthy Families @thriving__kids]

If your kids grew up to be just like you, would you be ok with that?

Every parent should ask themselves this question,

Because kids learn from observation & imitation.

This means kids are always watching you & copying what they see

So if you want your kids to be healthy, happy & just a good person

You need to show them how to be healthy, happy and a good person
